The user interface for PuTTy connection manager does not display correctly making it a broken application inside of wine.
It is not displaying the far most right window called "Connection Manager" that displays the list of your saved connections. You should be able to click any of the connections of which you want to connect, and it would launch a tabbed putty window.
Most importantly, the putty intergeneration itself is not being displayed inside of putty connection manager. In the middle of the application you should be able to have multiple putty windows open that are separated by tabs and you are able to move them around. (Stacking along side themselves if you like)
To get a better idea what I mean, it is best to try the program out yourself in windows where it works flawlessly.
I have tried many things to get this application to work. I installed net 2.0 and msxml6. I saw an xml error inside of the log, after installing msxml6 it went away, but program did not work any better.
In the options of the program there are multiple interface designs you can use (more or less skins/themes) like office 2007, system, visual studio 2003, visual studio 2005. All of them have the same UI bug. I have tried the standalone app of putty connection manager where you don't have to install anything, and the installable version.
