Well you've managed to be quite polite and considerate so I owe you at
the very least my full co-operation if not my apologies.
Some info below:

export WINE_DEBUG=+ddraw,+d3d7 ???? (the way this debug flag thing
works is completely baffling to me)

Sounds like it, I'll do a test on my machine with the latest CVS and
file a bug report or I'll email you if it works.

Looks like GPU issues, I'll try it again.

It seems impossible to get screenshots, the game doesn't allow me to
go back to kde until I exit and the timed screen shot is a pain.

I tried this again with the latest version, I got problems with
setting the screen to higher resolutions, it didn't like playing any
of the campaigns (but I think that might have been the install because
it was asking for the cd) and it then segfaults when I tried to do
anything other than play the tutorial.

Yes I understand, you never know you could have 6 if I could get my
head around the source code and development platform.
My apologies again, I was not myself and the disappointment of a
fellow linux user can be disheartening.
