Ah, TOD, my favorite game. I added it to http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks in your honor just now.
For me, sh winetricks typingofthedead_demo cd $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/typingofthedead_demo wine cmd /c run-typingofthedead_demo.bat
works fine... but then I have an nvidia card and the commercial driver.
Oh - that worked indeed (when using 'WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/typingofthedead_demo" wine' instead of just 'wine')!
That helped tracking down the issue further: For both Diablo 2 and TOD it only happens with the "Emulate a virtual desktop" (1280x800 for me) setting enabled in winecfg.
