I used the default Lucid Synaptic install of wine1.3 (and wine1.2 for testing
this bug). The clean prefix and the kernel change made no difference, but the
only other kernel I had to choose from was just one number down. This is
because I don't upgrade my kernel unless I know it fixes something, because
upgrading it for the sake of upgrading it can cause problems, especially since
my card is NVidia.

Should I try upgrading my kernel?
