Darn. I must have missed that winehq page. Thanks for pointing it out.

I tried recompiling wine with --disable-debug --disable-opengl and
while it still kicks out the error message, winecfg seems to be
working (I actually got the window up this time).

I was planning to move to the 2.6 kernel, and this looks like a good
time to do it. P'haps I'll be able to get even better results with
that.

Thanks for the help, everyone
