wine users - Jun 2005 - Trillian On Wine?

Has anyone been able to successfully run Trillian Pro 3.0 on Wine?  I 
just tried today (admittedly, I'm VERY new to Wine) and it started to 
come up fine, but the Contact List window (which normally does a kind of 
fade into view thing) just kept moving down the screen back and forth 
and never rendering correctly.  And the execution of the actual account 
sign-ons never happened, according to my other Gaim window.

Is there a known reason why it's not working?  Is there something else I 
need to do other than just '/path/to/wine /path/to/trillian.exe'?  Any 
help on this would be much appreciated, thanks.

I tested trillian 3.1 (the freeware) some days ago and got similar problems. 
Using several Wine versions and dll configurations didn't really help. So I 
guess you won't get it working.

If you still want to give it a try you can:

- test whether the use of native dlls solves your problems (look at: 
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-dll)
- use various wine versions
- install it with Wine or Windows, whatever you didn't already ;-)
