I've even tried exiting from all Wine apps before doing a suspend and then running a wineserver -k on resume before running any apps. But that doesn't appear to help. When wineserver -k hadn't helped, I tried looking for wine processes but didn't see any running. Perhaps I'm missing one -- what should I be looking for?

Thank you for the update on your kernel problem being fixed.
