Winetricks looks weird when started up with wine 1.7.8, can only see the first option (and scroll, but it should fill the complete window) #392

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take the last winetricks from http://winetricks.org/winetricks
2. run 'env WINE=$WINE winetricks' ($WINE points to my wine installation 
compiled in a 32 bit lxc server, latest from git)

I expect to see the complete winetricks gui, instead I just see part of it and 
on my command line I see something like 65-khmer-conf, line 14 out of memory 
(and also line 23 out of memory and line 32 out of memory). Ubuntu 64 bit 
saucy. In attach how the winetricks looks like.

I must admit it could be very peculiar to my set up, I just recovered from a 
crash, replaced a backup and it could well be that I am just missing a library 
somewhere. On the other hand, I did upgrade wine as well before trying whether 
everything still worked (which is, I admit, stupid). But if somebody could give 
me a hint in which direction to look, I'd appreciate it.

I wonder if any of the shared libraries in `ldd /usr/bin/zenity`
are corrupt?  Or, more accurately, if any of the files that winetricks opens
(you can see a list with `strace -f -o log.txt -e trace=file winetricks`) are 
corrupt?
It might be hard to tell.

As a workaround, you could try installing kdialog and uninstalling zenity.
I don't recall how well the gui works with kdialog, but it might be better than 
nothing.

Marking invalid since it's probably a system problem.

I suspect you are right, however, I still can't really use winetricks, which is 
kind of bothering me. When I try to re-install zenity, nothing really chnages. 
When I try to install zenity:i386, I get something about broken packages which 
I don't seem to solve the usual way (cleaning, updating). When I try to install 
kdialog:i386 it tells me that it's unable to locate the package. Don't know 
which way to go right now, any suggestions?

Why are you installing the 32 bit version of zenity or kdialog?  The 64 bit 
versions should work fine, they're just commandline tools.

Good question, don't have a good answer though, I was a bit confused, had to 
install 32 bit libraries for wine itself, and happily tapped :i386 afterwards 
for the next libs that needed to be installed, sorry about that.

Tried with the normal 64-bit version of kdialog, which is part of the 
kdebase-bin package apparently, to no avail. More suggestions? Something to do 
with those fonts it complains about?

Did it actually run kdialog?  (It won't unless you uninstall zenity.)

Okay, indeed, sorry, I purged zenity and it worked. The conclusion is then that 
zenity or one of it's libraries became corrupt. I still get that error about 
the khmer-conf thingy, but that's a red herring I suppose. Thanks a lot for the 
help!
