I tried with HomeCrafter. It doesn't launch exactly the same way on Windows 7
until you really set display color depth to 16 bit. You have to do the same on
Linux. I managed to do that with running a separate X server, like this (from
console terminal, switched to that with Ctrl + Alt + F3):

xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :3 -ac -depth 16

You may also need 'export DISPLAY=:3' in that terminal.

Then the program starts just fine for me.

This environment might be of course set up to something more convenient than a
bare X with a terminal (like running some window manager).
