The important question is: what do you intend to do about it? Nothing and kill
Wine once and for all on older platforms due to what's possibly a rather common
bug (if it also applies to XF86), or try to avoid the problem there and only
affect (newer) software that absolutely requires multithreaded GDI? To me this
looks like a classic case of a configure option.

Generally speaking, Wine developers should leave their new rigs with the latest
of everything and try to get it to run on more dated systems now and then; an
extremely frustrating experience, I can assure you.
