What's wineboot? First time I hear about it.

cs source? So you have a pretty powerful PC, don't you?

Doh. Have you installed proprietary drivers for your video card, or are 
you simply running Ubuntu? I think I have more than enough RAM and also 
that my CPU is powerful enough, so I suspect that the video card (or 
rather the way it's handled) could be the limiting factor.

I just added winehq repository to synaptic and downloaded 0.9.20 from 
there (after having fully removed previous version of wine) and ran 
SteamInstall.exe. Once the install is finished, Steam is unable to 
update itself (the updating... windows appears, but stays so, without 
any counter). When I quit it with Ctrl-C and then launch steam.exe, it 
updates itself correctly and I get usual Steam login window, but without 
any text on it. Just the green thingy.
