No.

3.0.  Long before M$ took it over, so it should be just a generic
Win32 app with no secret M$ tricks.

If I had a Linux system set up, I'd have tried this there in the
first place.

I suppose I can try it, but I wonder how much interest there will
be on a wine list in supporting FreeBSD.  At a minimum I suppose
they'll want to know if it still breaks on the latest wine version,
and I'll have no way to find out since the FreeBSD port doesn't
support the latest wine version.

In any case, it seems FreeBSD should not be allowing a port -- any
port -- to lock out CtrlAltF1.
