Bug ID: 37267
           Summary: First run of 1.7.26 seems to hang forever
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.26
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Maybe limited to the ubuntu build of 1.7.26.

To reproduce

WINEPREFIX=~/TESTX winecfg

(just use any untaken wine prefix)

Dialog about wine configuration appears and nothing happens.

In fact the application is not dead. If you wait enough (2-3 minutes) then the
application starts.

Same thing happens on a used wine prefix created by previous versions of WINE.

Subsequent runs are fine.

Issue is critical, as users can get the impression that the software is simply
not working at all.
