Again, thank you for at least looking at Wine.  Like the beverage, it 
will get better with time.

Also, it would be nice to advise the Wine folks of what is 'broken' so 
it can get fixed.  However, that is up to you to do.  No report == no 
fix (unless the problem is stumbled upon by someone else.)
