> Now, in the interest of getting **something** to work, I'll take you up on your offer.  I'll post as much specific info tonight when I get home to my machine.  The app that I have gotten the furthest with but still won't run is Thief 2: The Metal Age, rated Gold in the AppDB (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1697).  There used to be much more info for it but most has been taken down.  It installs fine but will not run.  I'm almost positive that my WINE version is 1.1.38 running in Kubuntu 8.10.  I'll post the rest tonight rather than rely on memory.

I would start from a brand new clean prefix. Install the application
from the terminal in this new prefix and post terminal output. Also
remember to never try to install anything in wine as su, sudo or root.
