I was attempting to add another override for a program (C:\StarCraft\starcraft.exe), however, when I selected the "Emulate Virtual Desktop" checkbox, winecfg freezes. There is no CPU usage, and there is nothing trown to the console. I am using Linux 2.6.14-gentoo-r3, and the slackware 10.2 binary build of wine 0.9.4 without debug symbols. The latest version of wine available for my distribution is the very last alpha release (20050925, IIRC).

I have also seen a problem with winecfg freezing the whole box the last two days, 20051226 snapshot. Outsite ping won't even work. My distro is slackware-current here. I think it may be related to audio because I removed my user from the audio group and I have not since been able to recreate the lockup. The reason I guessed audio is because 9 times out of 10 it locks up when clicking the audio tab. But it also locks up in or clicking the graphics tab.

Ok, I have now had it freeze without audio group permissions. I also know how to recreate the freeze. Start winecfg, go to audio tab, make a change (I unselect OSS and reselect), hit apply, then OK, then immediately start winecfg again. It then freezes.
For the audio freeze, try uninstalling arts if you have it. That's what seems to cause the freeze on my box. I also get output on the terminal saying "unable to create mcop directory."

Hi,
I'm running FC4 and had the same issue with the mcop directory message. This was introduced by either arts-1.5.0-0.1.fc4 or kdelibs-3.5.0-0.1.fc4 (or both :-).
It was fixed by the latest updates (*-0.2.fc4) of these packages.
Paul.

Well in my case it seems to be wineoss.drv based on relay logs. Removing it and using alsa makes the lockup go away.
