wine users - Mar 2007 - Wine just died...

This is completely inexplicable to me.

I has been using Wine in Fedora Core 6 for some time without a hitch,
but then I rebooted into Windows for approximately 2 weeks.
At this point I decided to give Fedora another try, so I booted into
it.
However, Wine basically just died.
Essentially, any executable that I run (ones that DEFINITLEY worked
before) only shows part of the GUI, or none of it. Even winecfg,
regedit, etc etc is being retarded. I get windows that are
"transparent with not content - they are just showing my KDE Desktop
background pic and the icons.

Here's an screenshot example of me trying to run the Putty binary....

One of the error I get is -

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x608121a0
"x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 000c,
blocked by 000b, retrying (60 sec)

Also, I have tried disabling SELinux and uninstalling/reinstalling
WINE, to no avail of course.

Hello!

Maybe this is related to your problem:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6468

Unfortunately there is no solution to this bug. What wine version are
you using? Maybe just upgrade to a later version?

Did you try to rename your ~/.wine directory to create a fresh one?

Ciao,

Olaf
