I compiled up Wine 20011108 from the source on my Mandrake 7.2 box without problems. I was pleased when I actually managed to get the Windows QuickTime player to install properly and actually run the player (albeit slowly). I also managed to get the SameTime installer to run, although the client still refuses to work. My one critical application on Wine however is Lotus Notes. It works pretty well with this release and feels a little faster than the 20010326 Wine version I use as a baseline. However there is one horrible regression in this new Wine release. When editing a document, the entire document redraws for every keystroke (although not for cursor movement). This is headache-inducing and makes it impossible to use this release for serious work. I usually run with the Sawfish window manager managing the Wine Windows. I tried going back to the fixed desktop size and enabling double buffered windows in search of a fix but no joy. Does anyone have any tips on things to try? I've gone back to the 20010326 build for the moment, but I'd prefer to run on the latest version as I stand more chance of getting other applications to run.

Excessive redraw in Lotus Notes on Wine 20011108 version

I couldn't see my message on the newsgroup and assumed I'd messed up in posting (having just upgraded to Emacs 21.1). Actually it transpires that I'd fallen foul of my own spam filters which throw away postings with a four or more digit number at the end of the line... Ooops.
