This bug has been open for five and a half years.  If, as previous posters have
said, newer Vista applications won't tickle this bug and the only correct fix
is to embed DirectDraw in the X server, it seems unlikely this bug will *ever*
get fixed.  However, there's something to be said for being bug-compatible with
older versions of Microsoft Windows.  I've got five legacy applications broken
by this one bug.  This is not a normal bug, this is a MAJOR bug.  I understand
that Wine has a no hack policy, but it doesn't sound like this patch could
actually break anything since it disables itself when unsure.  I think the
CrossOver patch should be considered as the best fix available and rolled into
Wine.
