Bug ID: 35267
           Summary: GSA Search Engine Ranker v7.25 user interface is
                    distorted (controls/text not rendered)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.9
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

Hello folks,

reported here:
http://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/7795/how-to-use-gsa-tools-in-gnu-linux...

The installer needs 'winetricks -q mfc42' for dialog skinning to work though
still succeeds without.

There is a delay of several seconds on startup, most likely attributed to
off-screen preparation of hundreds of images using gdi API.

Terminal output is neglectable:

Interesting tidbit: the application seems wrapped with software protection
scheme called 'VM Protect":

The application doesn't use gdiplus.
Winetricks recipes corefonts and comctl32 don't help.
