I think this was a Wine bug, or at the least, a packaging bug. I tried last
week and it did not work for me. Then today, after Christos announced his
success, I upgraded my wine to 1.1.12, and it ran immediately.

I upgrade very frequently, so the last installed version I had would have been
the previous latest Fedora, probably 1.1.11.

I did replace the codec as suggested in some posts here, but that was previous
to last week.

Works for me now. I needed to do a few additional things:
1. use virtual desktop mode instead of allowing xrandr. I have a wide-screen
laptop, and 640x480 (default mode for Thief) resizes to 640x400 because of some
xrandr thing I don't get. This cuts out some important buttons from being seen
or clicked.
2. make sure to run the game on only 1 CPU. this is true of the other Thief
games as well. I used "schedtool -a 0x2 -e wine THIEF.EXE" as my command to
start the game.

Works perfectly - video, sound, smooth graphics.

Thanks guys!
