This probably is the same issue that has prevented success for any attempt
to use some relatively recent Wine versions on the notebook of my girlfriend
(P3/450, Debian, Chinese simplified, non-Unicode setup: GB2312, XF86 4.3.x):
whenever I started Wine, everything slowed to a crawl and I had veritable
trouble trying to kill it (definitely points towards XF86 overload).

I could offer to do some tests if need be.
Haven't tried the new "non-official" Debian Wine packages, BTW.
