sorry,
in the flurry of responses (mainly regarding the need for an open source
version of etax) - i failed to notice someone with a query
my apologies for neglecting a thread i started :)
i didnt do anything special to get it running, however i do run a number
of other applications (*cough* games) in wine that may have had some
impact. particularly installing those pesky windows-only fonts, which
dont yet have an OS alternative.
most problems are usually solved by using a virtual desktop (ie wine
makes a window, which is pretends is the whole desktop, not an X virtual
desktop) - or messing with sound settings, alsa or oss, play with some
misc settings there in. other than that, most things will run out of the
box or wont run at all.
even installing the mozcontrol from transgaming has been made redundant
in the last few releases.
appdb is usually well worth exploring prior to trying windows software
in wine, but given the 'niche' market for etax, slug is probably the
best bet ;)

Hey Dean,
That's awesome. Can you tell us how you did it? I just tried the current
Ubuntu packages from winehq.org, and got this message:
In case anyone was wondering, the updates that my computer pulled down
this morning from winehq.org appear to have fixed the problem. I've not
gone all the way through the process yet, but this problem no longer
exists.
James.
