Somebody called 'Thunderbird' (first name Roderick according to /whois)
just solved the mystery on IRC: newer versions of Wine use the X
Composite extension for 'subwindow rendering', so this is the good old
'Direct rendering to redirected windows is broken' which will be solved
with DRI2. Apparently there's no workaround - if the X server doesn't
support Composite, Wine falls back to GLXPixmaps, but we don't support
rendering to those without DRI2 either...
