Thanks to a few targeted patches written by Stefan Siebert and James Hawkins, and of course decades of effort by the whole Wine team, Lotus Notes 7 trial version now installs and runs! See http://wiki.winehq.org/LotusNotes for details.
I just spent an hour or so playing with Notes as a plain old email client. It had a few mysterious crashes, but in general seemed usable. (Not that I'd ever use it after getting used to gmail, but that's another story.) I filed bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5752 about a strangeness in the email client. - Dan

Good news. One possible "market" for this is in the Debian world as currently the Linux Notes client will not install as it can not work out what version of Mozilla is installed. IBM have never really make any of their stuff easy to install on Debian. Of course the Debian sid wine will need to be brought up to date (currently .15) and will need the two patches mentioned above included.

It needs GRE (gecko runtime environment) and searches for gre.conf in /etc Have a look on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/GRE for more information.
