I agree, and not just because I was the person who originally submitted this
bug report for MOO2.  It appears that the issue is now well defined, and
hopefully not too difficult to remedy.  And, as Jeff points out, there are
other applications that are affected by the problem.  While I certainly agree
that the lion's share of developer efforts should go toward ensuring the
functionality of newer apps under Wine, I also think that removing any issues
that are well defined and that affect multiple apps is worthwhile, even if the
apps in question are older ones.  A user doesn't care that his favorite program
is old; he just knows that his favorite program doesn't run under Wine.
