If menus flicker use strictdrawordering=enabled, if you meant monsters, then I don't know the solution.

Why Wine developers have focused on fixing bugs in games and applications which are available for Linux? I do no get it.

They arent.

As you report bug, the bug gets id number. Wine database has over 30000 reported bugs. Some reports are abandon, no status update for years. Then suddenly someone tries the game with recent wine and it works --> marked fixed in new wine changelog.

They aren't actually fixing the bugs that you see in changelog.

Some folks (e.g., Joel Spolsky thinks that you must not write new code until you have unfixed bugs. It is hard and it is not the case with Wine development. But hey, do you keep a bug in a code you work on just because it is used in rare cases you can use native programs for GNU/Linux?
