Ok, it was indeed messy to go through this bug report, but I believe this bug
is gone. This is what I did, with wine 1.1.18 (git):

1) Install Switchball, including:
- tick off the tray icon during Physx install
- ignore registration request
2) replace/add following dlls into system32: shdocvw.dll shlwapi.dll urlmon.dll
mshtml.dll jscript.dll MSLS31.DLL
3) do the dll overrides with winecfg

Points 2) and 3) are still needed to overcome the preliminary shdocvw related
bug.
Note also that ies4linux (as indicated in another comment) didn't work.

The game runs both in virtual desktop and full screen. I believe the bug
reporter(s) were not even able to reach the game menus, therefore I believe the
bug is fixed.

Other issues: I had to reduce video effects from highest to high which makes it
playable but with some obstructing shadow. Sadly, mouse pointer is unavailable,
but keyboard seems to work well. In game sound had some noise (not a
pulse-audio issue since it was not running).

BTW, I'll file a test report in appdb to motivate others to try it out and
report other bugs :-). I suppose the rating should be Bronze, right? (it
"feels" as Gold to me)
