As I couldn't figure out what was causing this problem I cheated a bit. I 
tarred the .wine directory on both my machines. I then copied the one from my 
FC4 machine to the C5 machine and overwrote the .wine directory on my C5 
machine. It works perfectly. I saved the original contents of the C5's .wine 
directory and I will continue to see if I can figure out what the differences 
are, but my biggest concern was in getting wine running for those pesky M$ 
only apps one gets stuck with.

Thanks for the help,
