The fact that you can get it to run as root but not as mortal user tells 
us something I guess. When I was going thru my VST nightmares, I could 
not get it to run at all...and I was about to jump from the proverbial 
cliff ! Then Dave Phillips took pity on my feeble, whimpering self...a 
mere shell of a former true man of persistance... :)

I don;t know what your specific problem is...but, here's what we do know;

-Any vst-in-linux app is heavily reliant on the version of Wine. But we 
know for a fact that 20040505 is a working version. It works on my MDK 
box, and Mark has it working, as do several others here.
-Crystal is one of the definate .dll's that does work of the vst's. So 
does HyperCanvas 1.02. (Not sure if thats what you ultimatley want 
running here?)
- that on your box,  something available as a service or thread to root 
allowing it to run is not available to user...

What do you mean when you say "btw - i'm starting jack as normal user 
..." ? Is this when you try to run fst as user too?

Did you do a Winblows install of the vst application? If so, did you do 
it as root and not user? I know a full Win install is not needed with 
for Crystal...but is for Hypercanvas I think.
What kernel are you using now?
