wine users - Aug 2010 - Drawing problem in Wine 1.3.0

Hi, I'm having a problem with black boxes and black widgets appearing in
Wine programs. See these two screenshots[0], [1] for examples. One
program is a Windows application, but the other is Winecfg. Any clues
what is wrong here? This is Wine 1.3.0 compiled on Debian squeeze.

Thanks,
Andrew Barr

Most likely bad video drivers and/or conflicts with 3D desktop effects. Try
reinstalling video drivers (don't forget 32-bit part if your distro is
64-bit). And disable 3d desktop effects.

Sad to say, but get an nVidia video card.  Intel cards and drivers do 
not work well with Wine.

I found out that the only wine version that doesn't have the drawing problem
is the 1.0.x

Everything is fixed when I downgraded.

I know intel video cards are sucks, but on Lucid wine 1.3 just worked fine.
