Warcraft 3 with and without Frozen Throne Extension works fine at my 
system. (Ubuntu 6.06 :: i386 :: Current Wine Version)

The only thing I did was calling winecfg in order to set my cdrom drive.

It runs fine even without -opengl. And Battle.net works too.

I suggest that you check if you have installed grahpic driver with 3D 
acceleration.

If you have a NVidia crad like me and use Ubuntu Linux, you have to do this:

(With Fedora 5 (x64 Version) i had some troubles get Warcraft working, 
but with a i368 Ubuntu 6.06 it works on the same pc)

Hope that helps you
