OK, this isn't just a WineX beta problem.  It also occurs with WineX-2.2.1 on 
9.1.  The exact error seen with 3.0 beta and 2.2.1 is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] praedor]$ winex /mnt/win_c/Program\ Files/Internet\ 
Explorer/iexplore.exe
wine: lstat /home/praedor/.transgaming/wineserver-lapdog.ravenhome.net/socket 
: No such file or directory

Doing "rm -rf .transgaming/wineserver*" and trying again generally works (I 
just ran then shut down Acroread 4 for windoze, then ran Caesar III (with 
WineX 2.2.1).

At least part of the problem thus appears to have a simple, but tedious fix.
