You should check out the SoC for wine, looks like someone will be  
starting to lay the foundation of getting wine apps GTK styled. This  
will be cool, and a massive boost for gnome. I think google earth is  
probably early next year off for wine support, although there has  
been a diff discovered which broke it, you'd have to find the  
reasoning and person who wrote the patch that broke it and argue out  
a solution with them, and personally I don't want to get involved  
with that ;P
