I do have exactly this issue with wine 1.1.32: Both with and without WM
integration, the game starts with a black screen and some music (I'm not sure
whether there should be video here), and after clicking, I get some grey
artefacts in one corder of the screen and an "??? Unknown Exception" message. I
do have some error message about colour depth, but it comes already before the
music starts:
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 16x16x16
@0! (desktop)
I reverted my local wine sources to wine-1.1.25 and still have the same issue,
so I wonder what was done to fix it.

I still have to find out how to set my Desktop to 16 bit colour depth (startx
requires me to use root, and even if I "su" back to my normal user in that
session things don't work, wine says it can't find a display).
