OK. This bug seems to be really fixed, but the game crashes later (during the
startup of the "real" game, after all the selections). It crashes in its own
code (called "Engine") but ntdll and kernel32 are visible in the backtrace.
I can send it exactly if it helps. I don't know how to bisect this crash
because the one initially mentioned is "masking" it.

Yes, done. It's the following commit:

commit 388499ff28616ef03bf8949a78e658e1bdb4e4fc

    wined3d: More fullscreen window fixes.
    
The game is run in a virtual desktop (i.e. it appears in the Linux window, not
in full screen).

                    With regards, Pavel Troller
