Linux?

Ok, I know Paradox doesn't support running their games on linux. This isn't a complaint so much as it's an question if anyone's managed to get HoI2 running on linux. I've had good success in the past running Paradox games (EU2, HoI1, Victoria, CK, CotN) in linux using Transgaming's WineX, but HoI2 doesn't work. The game installs (although it takes a LONG time. Almost 3 hours. The process bar stalls seemingly forever at 25%, but it keeps copying files and eventually completes). And then when I run it the video plays and then the startup screen runs and the music starts playing! (It was a little shocking to hear the music play, since the music never worked in linux in any previous Paradox game. I always had to load the mp3's into a linux mp3 player and use it to play the music in the background.) Then the main menu pops up. All looked promising until I tried to start a scenario. It just Cashes back to the Desktop. Every time. So, has anyone had better luck at this then me? If so care to share what your using (Cedga? vanilla WINE? Crossover?) and the settings you used for it? (ignore my .sig. I need to update it. I'm using Debian Unstable with Cedega [the program formally known as WineX] 4.0. I know there are newer versions of Cedega but my subscription ran out a few months ago. If I hear a report or two that a newer version works I might have to look into upgrading. I'm running the North American (Atari) version of HoI2, patched to 1.1)

Maybe something in the configuration that could be changed?
