One thing that has helped a lot for me is changing the "window manager
is allowed to control Wine applications" setting in winecfg.  Perhaps
you have already played with that a bit, though.  I can't remember
which option I settled for, but it worked significantly better.
Sorry, that's not much help...

One thing that I've discovered about GSnap is that it (usually) works
great as long as you don't bring up the key setting dialog.  So I just
set up the key by selecting the appropriate notes on the displayed
keyboard, and that works great.  It's goofy, but it works.

I've had good luck with the Fish Fillets, but I see they are not
available from the developers site any more...
