Many were exposed by the use of Wine. Since Wine in either the 32 bit or 64 bit version does not exhibit them with other Linux distributions and even MacOSX, this seems to be isolated to something the Ubuntu team did when developing/building 12.04. There are two courses of action that can be taken at this time: 1. If you desire to run 64 bit, stay with the current 11.10 release of Unbuntu and file/update bug reports for 12.04. 2. Switch to 32 bit, for now, if you desire to run 12.04. There seems to be fewer issues with this release as related to Wine. The bottom line: Wine cannot fix problems introduced by a particular release of Linux unless the distribution releasers state what changes they made and how they can be 'corrected' by the Wine developers.
