Hi there,
I've come back to wine after many years (8 or so) and it's quite amazing how
far the project has come! I'm now running it on my laptop (FBSD 6.1 ) and
looking into porting some apps.... Anyway, that was more as a way of saying
that I may be talking nonsense with my following suggestion...

if security is of such concern (and you can't run the software on a test box
that can get nuked without much ado) , i suppose you could always run the app
(and wine + supporting libs) chrooted and export the display to your X session... Jails in
FBsd could be used as well, or vserver under linux.

WDYT?
