I cannot agree with you... If this bug has 92 votes, it in any case doesnt
mean, that it affects only 92 users...
Do you really think that every linux W3 player (there are hundred thousands or
even more of them out there) has voted for this? And this affects ALL of
them...
Creating LAN and Battle.net games is almost essential for playing... :-) Noone
wants to create game for u for 1v1match and wait there until you finish (about
20min +-)...
Can you imagine that on local tournamenst, or even WCG (something as world game
olypics) tournaments can be linux players? Or sponzored PCs with linux
installed? No there cant and do u know why? Because of lacking AcceptEX...
I think that importance of this bug has been greatly underestimated...
Importance not for wine itself, nor its developers, but importance for
users.... And wine is for users isnt it?

My post isn't intended to offend anyone i'm just telling my view on this and i
think every W3 player will agree with me.

Im sorry but i cannot help fix this, since i dont know anything of wineserver
and i only develop in C# :-(

Best regards
Gryffus
