Working & Non working "Last Chaos" logs under wine 0.9.55 and 1.0

I believe I am doing this bug report right. I contacted  Scott Ritchie and he
advised me to do this so I am. The game "Last Chaos" as listed in the
appdb.wineqh.org database only works for wine version 0.9.55 for me. I have
Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10 and it works for me. But all the later versions of wine does
not work with it. I have attached a txt document of the game running in
terminal under 0.9.55 working, and 1.0 where it crashed. The purpose of this
bug report is to fix it so the game will load on later wine versions. I have no
problem using this wine version but I would rather it work on newer wine
versions. I am trying to get my friend to get it to work and he is unable to
get it work. He is using OS Debian Lenny and he cannot get it working at all.
The game works pretty flawless, other then the game lags after it has been open
for a few hours but I think that has to do with me needing more ram.

The problem that occurs is that when the game loads in the virtual desktop,
which it has to load in to work from my study, at a resolution of 1024 x 700.
There are a few other settings that need to be changed in order for the game to
work that I can supply if needed. But in order for me to get this game to work
it loads in the virtual desktop. After it updates if updates need to be
applied, I click start and the game screen disappears for a few seconds, during
that time I have to click around in the virtual desktop then after a few
seconds the game screen appears. If I do not click around on the virtual
desktop after I click start game most of the time it will not load. It seems
very odd to me also but it works and I love this game so much, so I do what I
have to do. 

On other wine versions this does not work. The game screen loads in the virtual
desktop as I described and when I click start, the game screen disappears for a
few seconds, during that time I click around on the virtual desktop but this
time the game screen flashes on the virtual desktop after 4 seconds of clicking
around, then wine crashes. I was messing around with many different settings on
version 1.0 trying to make it work but after an hour I gave up. I was unable to
get it to work on this latest version.

So I am hoping all the details that I have described above and the text
document I have attached helps the coders and developers tremendously, and hope
they are able to fix these problems so me and my friend are able to play with
awesome game.

Thanks and hope to be hearing from someone.
