A lot of people reporting the same problem for a lot of apps - moving to major.
Source available for VirtualDub.

This is a trivial GUI problem nothing major about it.

S103, VirtualDub 1.7 and Quicktime are unusable, the make all the other apps on
a system unusable too.
Certainly not minor.

The definition of major is: "Major loss of functionality for a wide range of
applications", see http://bugs.winehq.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance

I can confirm that a wide range of applications is broken because of this
issue, e.g. every application where Quicktime is used destroys the user
desktop. Unfortunately, there are a lot of such applications.

The apps that blank the screen that way are broken in some form - what they're
doing is not compatible with composited desktops. Vista disables Aero in that
case.

A workaround for those apps that are still maintained, like QuickTime, is to
set winver=vista - that way they'll use an alternate, more sane codepath.
QuickTime for example uses d3d9 for drawing instead of DirectDraw rendering to
the desktop window.
