Tried that, but after two hours of trying to fix dependency hell I decided I
will be leaving fiddling with such details to the people who deal with the wine
source on a regular basis.

However, I managed to pin down the problem a bit more precisely. There seems to
be a character encoding issue as for some reason the .dat-file that holds user
history and alike gets corrupted. It is possible to rename that file, launch
miranda, create a new profile and then import the data from the old file (even
though miranda will complain about a 'faulty settings chain') and everything
will work until the file gets corrupted again and somehow keeps miranda from
displaying the program window.

Also, as I have found by now, the problem not only is triggered by clicking the
system tray icon, but also by minimizing all windows on the respective
workspace by clicking the minimize all icon and perhaps also by the screensaver
being activated, even though I have not yet been able to reproduce the latter
on a reliable basis.

When experimenting, I also found that with an empty user.dat file, the problem
disappears. But obviously, having no contacts in your IM program doesn't make
too much sense.
