Thanks for posting this, I'm having the same problem, though under Ubuntu.

One thing that I don't understand: I'm unable to get to any configuration screen for wine. I type "wine" at Terminal and I get:

wrybread@boofus:~$ wine
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit
wrybread@boofus:~$ wine --version
Wine 0.9.22

I installed it using apt-get. I searched among the packages and couldn't find any other versions. Can you think of any reason why I'm not getting the gui window you're getting, or any way to make the configuration in Wine without that window?
