So I wanted to quickly try youtube in wine to verify sound
was working.  I think I used to use Firefox for this, so
I did
  sh winetricks firefox flash
and fired it up... but it hung.  (And it even hung my desktop
once; had to use CTL ALT F1, kill firefox, and ALT F7 to recover.
It must have hung while holding an X grab, that mysterious
problem described in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23439#c7 )
Sad face.

Happily,
  sh winetricks safari
got me a working browser that can do youtube just fine.
