The Linux Webex client might work.
http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html says it'll run
under Fedora 10, and linux_base-f10 works well.
Failing that, there's Wine. Firefox and the Flash plugin run under
Wine. There are occasional graphic artifacts and Firefox windows want a
double-click on the close gadget to actually close, but otherwise it
works very well. Java also runs, although there it's not 100%. Maybe
enough for Webex.
