AP does a few quirky things in this environment (occasionally areas don't repaint, and it has a habit of going into the background when I open a new plan window), but it basically works.  I can access all the catalogs, build observing plans, and enter observations.  All the observations appear to be logged correctly (confirmed by examining extracts of the observation database).  Plans created under Linux/Wine work fine when I re-open them with AP running under Windows.

Thanks. I'll file this for those who inevitably whine (pun intended) whenever I release a new version without a native Linux version.
