Is there some reason why Wine needs to communicate with CUPS _at
all_ during startup?  I'd think it could wait until there is an
actual need to print something (which will be "never" for many
gamers).  Alternatively, do the "establish CUPS communication"
work in a separate task or thread rather than holding the entire
session hostage.
