No, by saying "custom Library" I mean the actual glide wrapper itself.
In other words, there's no way to correctly specify the status of something that affects other applications, other than listing every single instance where a dissimilar behaviour appears.

For example, nglide 0.98 is unable to create bilinear filtered textures, rendering every texture as nearest-point sampled(?). This only happens only on specific applications, while other games show their textures correctly.

Should I file this under a specific bug for  nGlide, creating an "App" profile? Or should it be considered an error of the application occurring while a specific glide wrapper is being used?

The same kind of consideration could be said while using any kind of third party plugin / filter that somehow affects the whole wine/windows environment.

By the way, if it weren't clear, I'm just using a stock wine build (1.5.0) running on Mac Os X Lion 10.7.3, on iMac Late 2010 (i3, AMD 5670 Video Card)
