What a relief! :)

Thanks a lot, but - sigh! After resolving dependencing and other
conflicts, I keep getting the same result. I'm not so keen on
systematically trying several k of combinations by hand, so I am
hoping for some additional insight.

Looking at the offending address let's me suspect that x11.drv is
involved somehow. Here's an excerpt of the module trace:

trace:module:load_library loaded x11drv.dll 0x40324858 40aa0000
trace:module:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loaded module 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\x11drv.DLL'
 at 0x40aa0000, 

[...]

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection Critical section 0x40ad2dfc wait timed out
, retrying (60 sec) fs=0287



Would that give any hint on what to try next?

Olaf

PS: Anyway, Wine is a great project. It's already starting to spoil
me. I don't look for Linux software so hard anymore. If there's a
Windows tool around for something I want to do, I just get it and give
it a try. :)
