Excellent question. Since POL/POM is a front-end for Wine, the first place to check, besides our Supported Software section, is WineHQ's AppDB. There are many, many entries for a lot of software. If it is even remotely popular, and people have attempted to use it through Wine, it will likely be listed there.

How do I run Wine/POL as root or sudo?
