FREE alternatives to RPG Maker

Hello, I looking for free alternatives to RPG Maker which runs on Linux or are at least wine-compatible. From my research there are few programs but none of them fits my needs.

Open RPG Maker
http://openrpgmaker.sourceforge.net/

This program probably would fit my needs, but unfortunately it seems to be dead.

TURBU
http://turbu-rpg.com/

Unfortunately project is in too early stage. Also it has chipset limitations similar to RPG Maker 2003 and I haven't succeed to run it under Wine (program itself ran good, but crashed at random).

SPHERE
http://spheredev.org/

Well, this is most certain NOT what I need. It seems to be DIY software, where you need to program almost everything (although it is easier than building from scratch). Therefore IKA and RPGds also are out.

Engine 001
http://www.engine001.com/

This is good software and editor runs pretty well on Wine, but there are some troubles with engine (although not as big as with RMXP/vX engines).

RPG Toolkit
http://www.toolkitzone.com/

It might be good but as RT's FAQ says it is heavy directx and WinAPI dependent and also had no success to run it under wine.

Do you know any other RM alternatives which I will be able to use under Linux? It need to be as easy as RM (but may differ - basically I want point&click tool, because I am not a programmer) and have native Linux port or at least be in very good relations with Wine. Currently I am forced to use RM2003, because newer versions of RM are both laggy and don't run too well with Wine. And 2k3 is very limited for me, especially if it comes to graphics.

The Portal of Destiny (Version 1.8)

Is this game Wine-compatible (if it uses MP3 or movies it is not)?
