One app that I think is quite important to the business world and that
used to work (up to 0628) and still does work with 0.9 is Lotus Notes (at
least the 6.5 client).  It has been reported a number of times on this
forum.

I have not tested anything since 0.9 as I am using Debian and I use the
builds for Debian rather than the tar balls.
