It's acting up again. I wish we had some info.
on how it picks what won't go through.

Wow. Thanks for all that info. Your info. is
more up-to-date than mine. In reference to
slowness, I'd just add that I noticed that in
specific software. It wasn't graphics issues but
controls. For instance, a RichTextBox control
was slower with intensive operations than an
API-created RichEdit window. The same is true on
Windows, but it seemed to me that the inefficiency
of any kind of bloat/wrappers like that became
noticeably magnified when run through Wine.

Yep - additionally one can/should switch to the
native riched20.dll over winecfg (after installing
the original, recent riched-libs over the winetricks-
downloader/installer)

I wrote something about all that in this recent thread here:
