Hero lab freezes after install on WINE

[anivair]

I've got hero lab installed on ubuntu linux under wine. Install went fine (or so it seemed) but when I start the program I get to the screen that says "Building User Interface ..." and then it just stops.

not sure what to do to even troubleshoot that. here's my command line output for anyone that can make heads or tails of it:

*******

anivair@anivair-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/HeroLab$ wine "/home/anivair/.wine/drive_c/HeroLab/HeroLab.exe"

And then it just carries on like that till I stop it.

I have one suggestion from the wine pages that suggests I edit xorg.conf. I'm going to try that and if it works, I'll post it here so we have it for others.
