What is bit depth?  :-)  can you tell from that?  That is interesting.
At 16 bpp, the symptoms I reported don't occur, and all is well.  I
guess you suspected that, but it didn't occur to me to check before.  I
might be the only wine user who habitually uses 8bpp:  I can't see any
difference between 8 and 16 bpp.  Well, with your patch in I can.

I'll get on with some more tests now, but I want to give you that to
start with.

Dammit, my winelib sendmail program won't work unless X is running.  Try
again.
