[Wine] Error running Guild Wars with .9.3

[Guillaume Vachon]

I had the same probleme. I had to run it in a windows mode to get it 
started the first time. Then, you can put it back to full screen and you 
wont get that error anymore. The only other issue I've had is when 
changing zone. I loose my mouse point do a few right click and it comes 
back.

I hope this will help you
