I think at some point (MFC) after 7.2-RELEASE 7.x began working well 
enough to use F10 as the base.  At least, GoogleEarth, UT99, Skype, 
Adobe Reader 8 (nspluginwrapper and standalone) and Flash 
(nspluginwrapper) work for me.  There are some missing system calls, but 
I am not sure what applications will have trouble (not work as opposed 
to make warnings) without them.
