The only program I run in Wine on my Ubuntu/LTSP network is UltraVNC 
viewer (because it supports 'singleclick' type ID numbers for VNC 
repeaters), and it works fine on thin-clients. There's definitely a 
layer of complexity that thin clients impose upon *any* program. Add an 
API layer written from scratch to impersonate Microsoft system calls, 
and you have an "anything goes" scenario.

If I were to guess I'd think it would be video related. Do you have 
anything in your lts.conf file? Tell us more about your setup.

Cheers,
Jordan
