Wine 10.8 console log

Empire Earth, and its demo, cannot restore from being minimised (alt-tab out of
the game). The screen either remains black, or the mouse pointer appears with
distorted graphics behind it (like seen in Bug 35882).

Also, tabbing out again sometimes keeps the black screen visible, sometimes it
doesn't.

Either way the game has to be killed to restore normality. It's not clear if
the game itself has locked up, or just the graphics.

Workaround is to start the game in a virtual desktop. The game escapes the VD
when starting a campaign, but it can be minimised and restored.

NOISE WARNING: when starting the demo for the first time the music was
deafening! Lower your volume just in case.
