I'm willing to tackle that (the BiDi stuff is only slowly going, and 
there may be some unexpected development coming that is outside my 
hands, so I have SOME free resources available).

Where do I get reboot.so to have a look? Either that, or can someone 
answer a few questions regarding it?
- When are the boot time activities taking place? On wine start? On 
wineserver start?
- When are login time activities taking place?
- How should a reboot request be treated? Should it be an indication 
that all these operations should start now, and let other wine programs 
carry on as usual?
