I've even tried exiting from all Wine apps before doing a suspend and then running a wineserver -k on resume before running any apps. But that doesn't appear to help. When wineserver -k hadn't helped, I tried looking for wine processes but didn't see any running. Perhaps I'm missing one -- what should I be looking for?

First: Please bottom post.  Your replies are sent to a mailing list.

Second:  After you suspend your laptop and bring it back to life, open a terminal session and type in:

[code]

ps -ef | grep wine

[/code]

Post the results, including the command, back here.  Based upon what you have written, it appears that the Wine processes are not surviving a suspend.
