I know next to nothing about cedeg, so can't help you there. A sugestion
would be to just remove those native DLLs and see what happens.

Hmm, I thought the directx9 patches had been integrated into wine
alreay...
Anyway, you know that this is not the recommended way of getting wine?

A common problem, as of yet no easy fix. You could try selecting a
different sound output driver (if available) and playing with the
'Hardware acceleration' and 'Driver emulation' settings. Sometime it
helps.

I have observed this behaviour with Mafia under wine 0.9.14. Basically,
the mouse pointer has to be inside the desktop window as soon as it is
created, otherwise this will happen.

You mean you could not change to a console? Or use ALT-F4 to close the
window? Or kill your X server?

Could be due to some drawing voodoo on behalf of the program. Is there a
free download available?
