wine users - Apr 2008 - Anyone have experience getting Poser 7 to work?

Hi,

I just installed the latest wine and got all kinds of software to work on my
box, which is really cool!

I'm having trouble with Poser 7, though. I've successfully installed it,
and can mostly run it, but it seems like a lot of the windows within tend to
disappear mysteriously when clicking outside of them. They come back if you
click the right widget, but I find it highly intrusive, because I can't use
certain visual features like the trackball camera rotation.

According to this
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7598&iTestingId=21329),
it should pretty much just work out of the box, but that was with wine 0.9.55,
whereas I'm on 59.

Has anyone encountered this? It might be a regression, but then, I'm enough
of a n00b not to have the tribal knowledge necessary to make this work
correctly.

I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 (64-bit) on a new laptop. The only winecfg
changes I've made are to enable desktop emulation and disable letting the
window manager control things.

thanks!
