I've run XNEWS under wine for years with considerable success. A bizarre behavior came at about 0.9.56. I'd run XNEWS.EXE and it would start and run normally, EXCEPT that no icon for the running program appears in the Gnome Panel. What this means is that if you minimize it, you've lost it. (I don't know a way to force a restore of a running task other than to use its icon. Any alternative for this is welcome.)
Please file a bug for this at http://bugs.winehq.org
Per his suggestion, I found that starting from scratch with everything (new .wine and fresh XNEWS directory) yields a working XNEWS. Since there is no XNEWS install, per se, and I'd previously forced .wine to be recreated from scratch, this shows that some XNEWS setting can cause wine (through 1.0rc4) to lose the panel icon for the running program. Not good, but since a completely clean install restores order, it's not critical for me. For others who have more invested in an already installed program set, it might be much more intrusive.
