Well, I've made a little more progress.

I can run the app By cd'ing to the Baldur's Gate directory and running 
'wine BGMain.exe'.  Once within the game itself, if I go into Options (the 
button that looks like a floppy), then select 'Graphics', then enable 
'Software Standard BLT', the bottom and right hand panels are displayed 
properly.

I still don't get any sound in the game itself (sound works fine in the 
opening credits and intro movie).  I'm guessing this has something to do 
with the error message

	fixme:dsound:IDirectSoundBufferImpl_QueryInterface Unknown GUID 
{31efac30-515c-11d0-a9aa-00aa0061be93}

(undocumented API call?)

Anybody knows what this GUID refers to, or how to research it, I would be 
much abliged.
