Same error/s
Managed to get past the:
err:client:receive_fd FD went missing; attempting recovery
wine client perror:0: write/writev: Bad file descriptor
by adding a cedega group and putting my user account into it. (check with "groups" command)
It was that and/or starting dbus with /etc/init.d/dbus start - either way, error gone.
Running eve from commandline now hangs on:

Single-user install...
This is the update checker...
Running /home/markd/.cedega/.updater/cedega_updater.py
Running... /home/markd/.cedega/.ui/runGUI
CPU pegged at 99%, ctrl-c'd it eventually.
Running plain /home/markd/.cedega/.ui/runGUI does however yield the cedega "launch" interface but clicking play just yields more CPU pegging with no action. (I did issue a export CEDEGA_PATH="/home/markd/.cedega" sometime which might have helped)
I suspect Ive screwed around so much its OS reinstall time (that or the last emerge world did more damage than I have)

Good luck to those who have more patience than me.. I'll plod along in crossover till Im feeling up to pulling my teeth out again.
