Additional Comments
Multiplayer workaround - Use winetricks for directplay to enable connection options. Connections work for LAN and WAN (if ports are forwarded correctly) 3D Acceleration work around - the winemac driver seems to have an issue with the 3D acceleration. Commenting out the guts of the updateColorSpace function within cocoa_window.m prior to building fixes this issue. Lastely, once multiplayer is up, the game hangs when attempting to abort multiplayer games requiring the user to force quit. This can be worked around by running the game with winedbg rather than wine.

To work around the menu problem, start the main application like this:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/LucasArts/Jedi\ Knight/
wine jk.exe -windowgui

So, I followed instructions and opened JK using the -windowgui command in the terminal, but the join/host connection boxes were still empty. When I rolled the cursor over those boxes, there were sounds of items being encountered; but when I clicked on them repeatedly, I got a "Cannot connect to the network" error message. I also followed instructions and set all the required .dll files as native, and that didn't do anything, either. Anyone know how to fix this? (I use Lubuntu, if that matters.)
