?????

If I'm running the older version and I have a .wine directory in
place, and then I attempt to run the new version, what happens? Does
it modify the olf version's registry??

If I start with the new version and then try to run the old version,
does it automatically install old version entries into the config
file???

Sorry. Guess I'm stupid but I feel this is not obvious. You say it
doesn't matter. I have no reason to disbelieve you. I just don't know
what to trust to happen automatically, and what I have to set up by
hand.

Well, the problem is in my original email. A long list of this error.

It worked earlier. I did some system updates which in the end included
things like glib, glibc and xorg. These changes were supplied by their
versions going stable in Gentoo's portage. I backed out of xorg and
went back to the old version until I understand this. I've jsut backed
out of glib and glibc.

Yes. Not a problem. It's a laptop that boots 2-3 times a day anyway.
Didn't help.

My real issue, I think, is that some file in the list I supplied
earlier broke either wine or jack_fst. I don't understand why that
should happen.

I've now messed with this for 48 hours and am quite bummed out.
