The program does multiple things which wine doesn't like. For one of the
problems I have sent a fix (it searched for the parent of the window to render
too; this was related to some ancient X11 code which doesn't apply anymore).
Once that patch is in (I just submitted it) the program will crash later on.
The app somehow triggers the use of the root window (desktop window) for
drawing. This isn't allowed and that's why the program crashes.

The solution is likely to get wined3d to create its own window to render to but
that is not so easy and has performance issues :(
