Regression: Winrar fails to start

[Dustin Navea]

Well, I was thinking that since we really dont want to mess with Xorg 
security fixes, maybe there is some sort of a workaround that could be 
written into wine?  I dunno, perhaps a temporary dirty hack to fix it 
until Xorg fixes X again?

Unless there isnt any way to work around it of course, and then we just 
have to wait on them to see what they say.
