--- Comment #6 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-05-30 08:52:56 --- Alexandre just committed a patch that removes the warning fixme:win:BeginPaint window 0x10020 belongs to other thread so perhaps it's worth retesting.
Also, you can use linux capabilities to allow your app to ping without being root; see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa287b4288974de0df23351f278b0d41014 We don't have an example there yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to try.
Finally, running any app as root using sudo will contaminate your ~/.wine directory with files owned by root, so you might need to delete your ~/.wine directory or do "sudo chown -R $USER ~/.wine" to run apps as yourself again.
