Classic deadlock senario. Thread A is attempting to get the GDI lock 
while holding the X11 lock and Thread B is holding the X11 lock and 
trying to get the GDI lock. Can't really say too much about this other 
than running with --debugmsg +x11drv,+syslevel and perhaps +gdi and/or 
+relay will tell you whats going on here. What version of WineX?

Well MOHAA won't work with the CVS version of WineX as we have some 
disgusting kludges for bugs in that game which we place in our binaries 
only. Supposedly the latest patches for the Spearhead expansion is 
supposed to have these issues fixed.

As you've noted it's pretty close to working, but should be slow when it 
does work. Feel free to debug it a little more to help us narrow down 
the remaining bugs.
