not necessarily wine. afaics, the stuff is cross-platform, qt4 for the
gui and rtmidi for the midi things, so that it can can be built and run
to linux natively (x11 and alsa midi).

in fact, there's a linux binary available from here
  http://gtx.tinfoilmusic.net/GT3-download.html
which seems to run just fine on my opensuse 11.1 (i386) note: it uses
statically linked qt4.5 so you don't have to worry about installing that
stuff either.
