Whenever starting any component of wine, e. g. 'wine settings' or 'browse virtual c drive' and also launching an application via wine freezes Ubuntu 7.10 at once. The System is absolutely frozen, you cannot move the mouse, neither switch to a terminal, and there is no rescue key combination working any more.

I have Ubuntu 7.10 installed (standard installation, with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic and GNOME 2.20.1). Whenever I run restricted-manager, it keeps saying me that my hardware does not need any restricted drivers.

My machine: Desktop PC
Intel Celeron @ 2.4 GHz
RAM 440 MB
HDD 80 GB

This is very critical and has to be fixed, for this can damage Wine's reputation badly.
