I have managed to sort out a solution to the curses problem with wineconsole, but I noticed that -backend=user doesn't work properly either. I get a window with alternating stripes of black and the root window image and text output doesn't emerge (perhaps a font problem ?). I uploaded an image of the problem to: http://members.optusnet.com.au/bobl/wineconsole.png
Guesses anyone ?
I set +wineconsole and got
