Odd lack of keyboard control

I'm certain this isn't a bug in Civ 3.
Having had issues compiling a Linux version, I thought I'd give V3 a whirl using the precompiled Windows version and Wine.
Which works fine BUT... the keyboard short cuts don't work at all, apart from movement using the numeric keypad.
I can't see people really clicking the menu option for Sentry every time on a unit. Bit of a nonstarter when I've got 500 Engineers to micromanage.
Hex displays much nicer than 2.6 though, it looks much much better. Just clunky to play.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure this is down to Wine having an issue echoing the keyboard input on the Linux side into the Windows equivalent, but I thoughtt I'd mention it as an oddity when trying not to hand compile the code.
