wine users - Sep 2009 - Nothing pops when I launch wine

Hello,
Here is my problem :
When I try and run anything with wine, nothing pops. The console log reports no
error, apart from the basic "fixme" and all the kaboodle. The program
seems to be running but no window is shown.
The same thing happens with winecfg.

I'm using Gentoo 64, with Gnome, and Compiz. Compiz is run with
--indirect-rendering. My "graphic adapter" is an intel chipset.
I'm using alsa with pulseaudio over.

When I get back home, I will add information and test with compiz disabled. But
if anyone got a clue, just post :) the slightest intuition, might it be totally
wrong, can help !

Thanks a lot guys !

I've tried with Compiz off but the problem remains the same.

Wine version is 1.1.28 

Which library does wine use to draw its windows ? it might be related to that
somehow.

That will not work.  wineprefixcreate no longer runs.

How about trying the following:

[code]

wine notepad

[/code]

in a terminal window.

Please post back what happens.
