Using Front Panel Designer under Linux

[Davo]

This started as a cry for help:

I was wondering if any of you have tried running the Shaeffer design program on Linux using Wine.  I've tried it and found that when you leave select mode, you cannot re-enter it.  Help! :(

And then using Google like I should have done in the first place, I found the answer: use the latest release of Wine.

If you use Debian and want to use Front Panel Designer, go here: http://www.backports.org/ and use that repository to install Wine.  The standard Debian repositories are often out of date.  This bug is was specifically referenced by the Wine developers.  See http://search.gmane.org/?query=%22front+panel+designer%22&group=gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel

in case you're interested.
