problems with modal MsgBox and critical section timeouts

hi all,

looking for advice on two issues, related to the same program.  first,
i'm using a Wine-CVS build of 20020106.  i've got a very basic
setup running - no local windows installed!  (this is for license 
reasons, it's a long story.)  i am willing to try this again with
a local windows version installed, but i don't believe it will change
what i'm seeing.

the two problems:

I'm installing the Intel IXP1200 SDK 2.0 on our lab machines.  the
install program is an install shield package, and it pops up a 
huge image on the "desktop" of the wine session.  it then puts
diaglos on top of this.  at some point in the process, the dialog is
drawn and then instantly vanishes *behind* the image.  no matter 
what i do, i can not get to the dialog.  even though i'm running
wine with "--managed", that image isn't managed.  the first 
install-shield message box is managed, but everything else isn't.
anyway.  when that message box appears and then vanishes under the
image, i get the last message in this list:

(running as: "wine --managed --winver nt40 ./Setup.exe")

[font messages whacked]
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.

fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.

i worked around this, by fiddling with desktop geometry, until i
could get the program installed.  it was a pain, but i did 
eventually succeed.  it seems odd that the dialogs created by the 
installshield program are not managed, when other dialogs are.

moving on, when i then tried to run the IDE, i got a blank box outline, and 
this message repeating:

 .... critical section timeout (waiting 60s)

any ideas on this one?  any hints?  any additional information or things
i can provide/try?

cheers,

josh fryman
