Menu problem: top menu drawn ok, pulldowns miss text

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

I have a strange problem with the Cambridge Advanced Learner's 
Dictionary. It, finally¹, starts up but (besides other problems) there 
is a glitch in the menu. The menu bar looks ok, the dropdown menus work, 
but the items are empty. The (single?) submenu works again.

See http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/wine/cald2.png

Has anyone an ad-hoc idea or knows which are the best debugging flags?
Even with the default setting I get hundreds of such lines:
   fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDrawClipper_SetClipList 
(0x40410e80,0x4067ea8c,0),stub!
Thus I want to do a wise choise for the menus.

(At the startup, it comes up with an open File menu and the menu item 
"Menu 1" to "Menu 7" which closes after a few seconds by itself:

Regards,

Tobias

¹ Great work! A few weeks ago, it didn't come up at all but was stalled 
with the splash screen.

PS: See also http://dictionary.cambridge.org/cald/cdrom/,
unfortunally, there is no free demo version :-(

PPS: The other problems are mentioned above are:
- Somehow no words are shown (makes it unusable). This and the other 
bugs might relate to the following error:

err:module:import_dll No implementation for 
URLMON.DLL.CoInternetCreateZoneManager imported from 
L"C:\windows\system\IEBrowser.ilx", setting to 0xdeadbeef

err:module:import_dll No implementation for 
URLMON.DLL.CoInternetCreateSecurityManager imported from 
L"C:\windows\system\IEBrowser.ilx", setting to 0xdeadbeef

- Some exception ("thrown by funReadIniFile" - file not found) dialog 
covers a lot of the space but seems otherwise not to harm:

(The question is only: Why is the file not found.)

If memory serves me right, stubs are incomplete pieces of code that need
to be fixed/written/updated, hense the fixme notice -- maybe you want to
look into trying to code this from a recent CVS and submitting a patch
somehow?  I'm new to wine-devel though, so I'm not sure.  Maybe the
others can help better?
