Hi again.

wine 0.9.19, problem still existing. But I'll try to give some hints for 
creating a workaround, or something similar. configure checks /usr/bin/artsc-
config for existance. If this file exists, configure assumes that arts is 
configured and running. But on Debian GNU/Linux (and probably other Distros), /
usr/bin/artsc-config is shipped with the package libartsc0-dev, which neither 
includes arts itself, nor depends on it (see http://choerbaert.org/scy/pics/
depend_graph_libartsc0-dev.png). Deleting/moving this file solves the winecfg 
crash.

I am not the only one with this problem. On IRC I recognized several people 
with the same issues. After I told them to execute "touch /tmp/ksocket-$USER", 
winecfg didn't crash any more (until next reboot, of course). Thus I think it 
is also in your interest to fix this problem.
