wine users - Apr 2005 - Sluggish UI in KDE

Slackware 10.0. Wine version whatever was current a month ago, how do I tell 
what wine version I have? Anyhow, I'm experience two issues:

I have KDE setup with 4 virutual desktops. If I'm running WinMX via wine, 
and if I try to switch to a different desktop, it immediately switches back. 
I basically can't use the other desktops because I can't switch to them.
Also, I can't minimize the app. I can maximize/restore, but minimize is 
disabled.

It's been solid as a rock for a week or so, but the gui uses 90%+ cpu. Is 
this a wine issue, or is this more of a video driver/KDE issue?

I can search, that isn't an issue. I've been sharing my midi collection
with
it for a few weeks now, and downloads/uploads work great. Can you switch to 
a different desktop? And when you do, WinMX stays on the first and KDE stays 
switched to the second? If you have it on the transfers screen, how much cpu 
does it use?

And, if it is working for you, what can I do to get it to work for me? I 
click on the desktop 2 button in the taskbar at bottom of screen, it 
switches to desktop 2, and immediately switches back. I close WinMX, and the 
desktops work as expected.

I made a very quick try with WinMX 3.53 and WineTools using Wine
20041019 (my favourite) and it works good. Searching brings up results and
the window stays where it should without problems with virtual desktops.
