This is still a problem as of wine-1.3.28-308-gae80430: Freespace hangs after
starting.

I came across a similar problem when trying to start Master of Orion 3: after
launching the game the screen stays black, only the mouse pointer is visible.
Unlike Freespace, MoO 3 doesn't hang, it keeps running, but nothing can be seen
except for the mouse cursor.
Bisecting led me to the same commit [7e3985e1fea60da73bae2b9465b94e5d110909fc].

A workaround for MoO3 (which doesn't help in the case of Freespace):
- use a virtual desktop, sized 800x600 (that's the game's own resolution).
- in fullscreen mode the desktop must be set to 800x600 before starting the
game, otherwise the black screen issue can be observed.

Fedora 15, Gnome 3, Nvidia 250 / driver 280.13
