Your problem sounds like one I am having for a long time with VB6 applications which use a toolbar: any icon with transparency gets its transparency clobbered in Wine.
Hm... sure those VB6 apps use bitmaps with alpha?... AFAIK, 32bpp bitmaps got "widespread" only after Windows XP and the fancy new UI stuff. I'd assume that some typical VC6 app doesn't use any of the fanciness...
Anyway, I stumbled upon the issue while tinkering with the theme code. So to see the problem, you'd need a Windows XP theme that uses alpha somewhere (e.g. the standard ones), a program utilizing themes (e.g. "Theme Explorer"... I got it off the web some time ago, could mail it to you) and some patches from me to have uxtheme use AlphaBlt() (which it currently doesn't yet).
If that didn't scare you off, I can upload patches etc. somewhere. ;)
