King of Dragon Pass, GOG.com release
Identical to version 1.7 (518), but binary has been modified to no longer require CD-ROM for copy protection. The installer also installs the game data files onto the hard drive instead of using them from the CD-ROM.

What works
Can create new games and restore games from main menu. Audio plays great.
Game is fully functional. (Note I am using [Wine] 1.3.24, but 1.2.3 tests fine as well.)
What does not
Restoring a game from the settings while in the game (icon on right side, showing a mouse with cord wrapped around) results in a wine crash. The only workaround appears to restore from the main menu (which will require you to quit the game anyway).
Scrollbars are always present unless in full screen mode. Setting the window to a slightly larger size is a good workaround.

Scaling using Xephyr and VNC
