I'd like to confirm that what seems to be the same bug(s) is still present in
wine-1.0.

1)Once a html help window is opened it cannot be closed without
  shutting down the application.

2)The opened window cannot be re-sized.

3)The window fails to render images in its viewbox.  

4)In the app I maintain, while the "contents" are there "index" and "search"
  are not.  

All these thing work well in XP.

In fact, that app appears to have a help call that freezes both wine and KDE.
So far, that's only been "recoverable" by shutting down the X server with a
ctl-alt-bksp and re-starting X.  I'll try to gather more info on that one.

Let me also note that although everyone doesn't use Linux, KDE, and Kchmviewer,
I do.  So, thanks James. Kchmviewer renders *.chm quite nicely.  Unfortunately,
your workaround doesn't work on wine-1.0--help simply fails to launch.  Too
bad--it appears much nicer than throwing all that mozilla code at the problem.

For now I just keep a shortcut top Kchmviewer on the desktop.
