Does 'wine notepad' work?

If you can get a backtrace with debugging symbols (either install your distro's
"debug" package for Wine, probably called something like wine-dbg, or build
Wine from source), that would make it easier to tell what's going on.

For now, my guess is that fallout 3 includes something that sets a global
windows hook, and that hook is not working correctly. Common practice is to use
a separate wineprefix for each application, so that they can't break each other
(see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix).

(It seems rather suspicious to me that fallout 3 would install something like
this. Now, I'm not saying you're a pirate, nor do I necessarily have a problem
with piracy, but if you do have a crack or pirated copy then it could explain
why this is happening. If that's the case, well, as a rule we do not work on
fixing such things. But maybe there is some other reason, like really egregious
DRM.)
