    winex11: Use window surfaces for rendering top-level windows.

    It can be disabled by setting "ClientSideGraphics"="n".

The problems vary from 'window contents not drawn' to 'black screen during
movie playback'. Setting "ClientSideGraphics"="n" in the registry works around
the problems in all the affected games. Terminal output doesn't show anything
suspicious. I should add that I have Wine compiled without OSMesa support (if
that matters in this case).

a) games developed by SCS Software usually start with a launcher where you can
adjust screen resolution, detail level etc. The contents of the launcher are
not drawn, only the border of the window can be seen. This can be reproduced
with the demo of Hunting Unlimited 2009 (download link added to url):
- create a new wineprefix
- winetricks ie6 (it's important to install IE6 before installing the demo)
- install the demo
- start the demo with hu2009.exe. First comes a html-based launcher, dismiss
the window about scripting error and click on <Start free trial>.
- a window titled 'Hunting Unlimited 2009 - Launcher Application' appears, but
the contents of the window are not drawn. 

b) intro as well as in-game movies are showing only black screens in Star Wars:
Knights of the Old Republic and in Paraworld. Audio is playing but you can't
see anything. After the movies end, the game screen appears correctly.
Paraworld has a demo (1.2 GB download size):
