TWM is _not_ raw X.  If you like, you can run wine from an xterm (no
WM), or even start X with "X :0" and run wine from a text console
with "wine --display :0" (vary your display number to suit your
situation).  Now that is raw X.  Might not be anything to do with the
problem you face, of course, but it works for my windose app.  But then,
so does icewm.

Everything comes from somewhere.  Everything has to go somewhere.
There ain't no such thing as a free IRQ.
