This is what works for me:
D2006 app (DBExpress + midas) + Firebird 2.0x database (client) on Kubuntu 8.04.

And here is how:
1. install Wine 1.0 on Linux
2. copy midas.dll to "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32" folder on Linux
3. copy regsvr32.exe from Windows System32 folder to "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/" Linux folder
4. run konsole and go to "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/"
5. execute: $ wine regsvr32 midas.dll
6. copy dbxint30.dll and fbclient.dll to "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32" folder
7. go to app.exe folder on Linux and run app in konsole: $ wine app.exe

Or if you include midaslib and dbexpint in your project (uses midaslib, dbexpint), steps 2, 3, 4, 5 and dbxint30.dll (step 6) are not needed.

Did anyone manage to create a dbexpress application working under wine?
I made a few test apps and they crash...
What kind of DB connection components do you use?

It is not just Firefox that makes main release today.
Wine HQ has released the Wine 1.0 today after 15 years (no less!) of development. The original target was to run Windows 3.1 apps on Linux, but nowadays lots of Win32 apps can run on Linux this way, including Delphi made stuff.
Wine is no replacement for a native compiled apps, but until
CodeGear get Delphi ready for multi-platform target compilation, Wine is half-way solution for making Delphi written apps run on Linux.
