Has someone had luck with watching a WebEx session on FreeBSD based

some tools like Firefox with flash and a RDP client are required.
I'm always forced to launch a VM with XP to watch such sessions and it
would be good for me to overcome this situation.
The Linux Webex client might work.
http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html says it'll
run under Fedora 10, and linux_base-f10 works well.
Failing that, there's Wine. Firefox and the Flash plugin run under
Wine. There are occasional graphic artifacts and Firefox windows want
a double-click on the close gadget to actually close, but otherwise it
works very well. Java also runs, although there it's not 100%. Maybe
enough for Webex.

I have also tried WebEx in FreeBSD with similar results. I have not
tried using f10, but I wonder if the WebEx Java component detects that
it's running in diablo (or rather not a recognised Java engine).
FWIW I have had success with other similar products in FreeBSD, namely
MeetingPlace. IMO it runs better in FreeBSD than Windows.
