A handful of utilities won't work in crossover. Excimer's Combinulator being one. Obsydian being another. Also I noticed a few peculiarities with the toolset (textures do not always display properly) but still its working fine.

For the other utilies, I am reopening virtual box and installing those few utilities there. I'm still happy with running everything on linux.

(edit: my issues may be due to having not installed the dependencies for the utilities.)

I have discovered the the NWN Toolset Extender isn't actually functioning properly in Crossover. It does launch the toolset but it is not using skywing's compiler even though I have all the DLL's in my directory.

This is a big disappointment. I suppose I'll have to look into writing and compiling scripts outside of the toolset.

VMWare Player is playing nicely with the NWN Extended Toolset (NWNTX). So far I have only tested the compiler, but its giving me everything I expect.

One drawback is that I am using crossover's NWN installation which is on a shared drive. I suspect this is why the loading the module into the toolset (especially the HAK loading) is a little slow. This is not a problem though so far because I only intend to do scripting in VMWare Player.

Update:  I now have an Ubuntu 14.04 installation and am using the latest beta version for wine. Still using the native linux graphics drivers.  The problem I was having with the small fonts was because I had tried some themes for wine and they had messed up the fonts. I threw out my .wine folder and the new clean wine's fonts are just fine.

 

(I have an Ubuntu 13.04 installation and have just started to dabble with the toolset using wine 1.6. I'm using the native Linux graphics drivers.)
It's working but there are a few problems like strange textures or just white textures but only in the toolset. They're fine in the game. The script compiler is working for me. The 'test module' button also works.

 

(The biggest frustration for me seems to be that the fonts are too small; this probably has to do with the desktop resolution, dpi etc. settings of wine which I guess I should tweak and try out.)
Using wine 1.6 under Ubuntu, I don't mind using the toolset, I'll just have to get used to the new 'quirks' that happen.

The game itself is working fine under wine, it seems faster than in my Win7 partition; I haven't tried to install it natively yet.

That said, the toolset does quirky things with me even in Win7; my older WinXP machine was barely powerful enough to run the toolset. But even in Win7 the toolset crashes and hangs and gives C++ errors sometimes, but it's workable.  I've gotten used to just meticulously saving my work every 10 or 15 minutes and if there's a crash or a hang, I quickly close the toolset and reopen it after a few minutes. 
The game itself doesn't always run; then I have to log out and log back in and sometimes even restart the computer.


I hope this information helps somebody.  If there's trouble running the game under wine, update wine and copy/paste your entire NWN installation folder from your Win partition to your home partition in linux. That way you get all your saved games, haks, modules etc. I suppose you could intall it normally under wine as well but when I installed the game using PlayonLinux and then imported my modules, haks and saved games, it didn't work.
