Summary: Extremely slow character rendering in all apps over
                    freenx
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.12
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kkant@xmission.com
Wine 1.1.12 on Fedora 10 x64 renders fonts/characters extremely slowly when
operating over a remote freenx session.  This affects all apps, including
winecfg.  Each character is rendered pixel by pixel in an agonizingly slow
manner; it makes me think that raw bitmaps are being sent over the freenx link,
rather than character data with a fontname.  The symptoms appear anywhere text
is rendered in an app: menus, text fields, lists, etc etc etc.  The bug can be
confirmed by running winecfg.
I experienced this bug with Wine 1.1.12, Freenx server 0.7.3 (the latest
version in the Fedora repository as of Jan 22 2009), and the NoMachine nx
client for windows v3.3.0-3 (downloadable from nomachine.com).
This is a new bug in 1.1.12 that did not exist in the previous Wine version I
was using (1.1.9).  I reproduced this bug several times after removing my
~/.wine folder and reinstalling 1.1.12.  I reconfirmed that the older version
1.1.9 does NOT have this bug by removing version 1.1.12, removing the ~/.wine
folder, and reinstalling version 1.1.9.
