WoW on Wine on Linux

One way to run Windows applications in Linux is to use Wine.  This is not an emulator (so says http://www.winehq.com/site/myths ). Anyway, I was checking out the status of running World of Warcraft using Wine.

On this page (http://appdb.winehq.org/ ), they have a list of "Gold" applications.  These are "Applications which install and run virtually flawless on a out-of-the-box Wine installation".  And WoW is on the top of the Gold List!  Yeah.  Let's learn more about this by clicking
on the "World of Warcraft 1.3.0" link on the left.

That would take you to this page ( http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=2581) where it lists more details about running WoW over Wine. ...

Description

This is World Of Warcraft 1.2.x US and Europe

Wine compatibility
Note: Always run in opengl mode. (-opengl flag for WoW.exe)

What works
All seems to work, except the selection of things in the universe. The
infamous mouse selection bug... :(

What Doesn't
The mouse can not select things.

What wasn't tested
A lot, because can not select things with the mouse

.... ah ha ha ha ha!  What doesn't work?  Mouse cannot select things.  What wasn't tested?  A lot, because can not select things with the mouse!  Ha ha ha!  And WoW in on the Gold List?!!?  What a bunch of jokers!
