--- Comment #4 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2010-05-16 09:30:35 --- The bug is still present in wine-1.1.44.
In bug #13335, comment #190 Roderick Colenbrander suggested using ORM=backbuffer at the cost of some graphical artefacts.
This indeed prevents the freeze in the first level in 1.1.44. The amazing graphical artefact is a "picture in picture in picture in..." view while in the cantina (a sort of "menu" level): the lower left shows a mini view of the whole virtual desktop, in its lower left again a mini view, and again and again... Quite amusing and not annoying. Normally there's nothing special in the lower left.
Using ORM=fbo or pbuffer causes the app to freeze.
