You do not need any MS library to run Kompozer in Wine, and work is
underway to update composer to work with current GTK and hence on
current Ubuntu natively.

The problem is that once Kompozer worked good enough the development
slowed down or even stopped completely, and the code got bitrotten wrt
GTK development and updates.

The Windows version works perfectly because it is distributed with its
own outdated version of GTK which matches the obsolete composer
binary.
