Well, I've downloaded this application and it installs and runs just fine
for me under Wine in jaunty.  The only problem I see is that the encoding is
wrong on all of the menus - it looks like KOI8-R -> ISO8859-1 mojibake. 
Hard to say if that's a wine bug or a buggy application assumption without
more digging, but either way it seems like it should be very fixable - much
less of a problem than unimplemented Windows function calls!

There are also two problems with the menu entries added to the GNOME menu
for this program.  First, the 'ToolKID' link has a path escaping problem,
and all the backslashes in the path to the kidspac.lgp demo file are
missing, causing a launch failure.  (It launches fine from the commandline.)
Second, the 'update' link (Актуализация) doesn't show up, presumably because
of an encoding issue somewhere.

Are there other problems that you ran into when running this program under
Wine?
