It works to the extent that it loads all those wonderful "examples of 
various people's" files and renders them. I did notice much slowness in 
the drop-down menus compared to the Win version. I'm sure the Linux 
version needs lots of work in many OS-call areas in addition to be 
fleshed-out in all the function areas. The rendering engine is working 
in Linux! That seems important, huh?
