Well, the way it is now is frustrating for the user as he will try playing 
with that option with no success but only time wasted. It should be 
disabled until it really does something.

Thanks.

I had a look at the source - seems that the "Standard" and "Basic" 
settings in the "Hardware Acceleration" dropdown box do not make a 
difference in Wine either (= are treated the same as "Full")? Is this 
another relic?

I have to say I find this quite weird. It's not like winecfg provides that 
many options, and several of them are broken or misleading...? As winecfg 
is more or less the only Wine end-user frontend, this is not so good.
