[Wine] Re: steam&wine on Ubuntu dapper

Depending on what version of Wine you are running, that ActiveX control
may not work very well.  Around may of 2006 (this year) some things
were done to remove the dependence on this control.  Some of the stuff
wasn't fully implemented (and still isn't).  However, if I read your
error output correctly, you might benefit from 0.9.24 if you aren't
already using it.  It fixes an OLE issue that you appear to have (it is
related to the ActiveX control... I don't know the full details, but
have looked at the code and it was also an issue with my app until
0.9.24 which is why I'm familiar with it)  It should make your app
work.  However, there may be an issue with sub-windowing.  If you get a
window that appears on your root window instead of inside your main
window (You may not have this issue with 0.9.24... I see it with GSAK)
then I can direct you to the bug I've already posted.  Hopefully the
new version will help you get things running (again, if you aren't
already using 0.9.24).

If you are already using 0.9.24, then you'll have to try your old
method for fixing the problem.

Either that, or go back to version 0.9.15, which might work for you.  I
would definitely try 0.9.24 first though.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
0.9.24 should help fix the above...
