RE: Crashes when it would show menu in Ubuntu Hardy

Typically, just after posting, I find the fix. The problem is the sound. Hardy uses pulseaudio for its sound system, however this makes wine quite unhappy. To fix it, you need to use pasuspender:
$ pasuspender ./hl2.exe -- -dxlevel 81 -window
and it's all happy again. Hopefully when Wine gets a pulseaudio driver, or it's ALSA support is fixed to work with it
