Half Life 2 doesn't start using wine version 0.9.61, works fine with 0.9.59.

Steam.exe opens up as expected, I can choose the Game and start it there. The
"starting game" message displays just fine. Then, the screen blinks for the
fraction of a second and nothing more happens. I am not able to see or move the
mouse pointer. When I change the focused window with Alt+Tab, the cursor
reappears and everything is normal again. "Half Life 2" shows in the taskbar.
Nothing more happens - if I click on the taskbar entry, the cursor disappears
again. I can kill the Half Life 2 process and return to a functional Steam.

A logfile with WINEDEBUG=-all is attached, but there are not much entries in
it.
