Hello all,

I would like to nominate bug #5828.  It causes the system cursor to be 
displayed instead of the proper game cursors in games such as C&C Generals 
and C&C 3 Tiberium Wars, making them less eye-catchy and harder to play.  
There is a proposed patch (not suitable for inclusion according to the 
author) to make the cursors work, so advanced users won't be too harmed since 
they can compile a custom Wine to get the games working.  But considering 
that C&C 3 is 3rd top rated in the AppDB and has a free demo,  I'd say we 
should make it work out-of-the-box.

Bug #8048 to support a shader setting higher than 'lowest' might also be worth 
considering.
