Application runs with wine 1.1.28 but not with 1.1.40.

I have installed an application ("BOOKcook Bücherverwaltung") in wine 1.1.28 (which I got from the OPENsuse distribution) which runs smoothly and without any error as far I can see it (after I had installed dotnet20). When I upgraded to wine 1.1.40 the application has become unusable. The menu bar of the application window is corrupted (contains only red strokes). You may still click it in some kind of sense but you never know what you get. Furthermore some font in the lower parts of the window has become nearly unreadable.
Regards, Peter

This needs to have a regression test run against it.

My guess is that it's just the change in default load order for gdiplus that started with 1.1.38. But since the OP was told to run winetricks to fix it, we can't know for sure without a regression test. Better advice would have been to just set the override, no winetricks, as that would only have fixed the problem if the app itself had installed gdiplus.
