  My computer dual-boots into Windows 2000, so while I don't have massive
withdrawl symptoms, rebooting is a pain.  I therefore tried running POV
3.5 beta2 under Wine.  Essentially, it starts up, gives a few errors, then
shows the full GUI -- with the messages pane completely blank.  All of the
menus and buttons look functional, but attempting to load or render a file
causes it to hang.
  Anyways, that's all I got it to do.  Hope others are more successful
than I.
