wine users - May 2011 - works on live Knoppix, but not on Ubuntu / Kubuntu installs

I have an industrial app I'm trying to get working on wine.   
It runs ok using with the Knoppix 6.4.4 live cd [using 1.0.1.]   Does not work
on Kubuntu or Ubuntu, with either wine 1.2 or after I downgraded to wine version
to 1.0.1.
1) Any idea why?  
2) Is there an "installed" distro that's very similar to  Knoppix
6.4.4. ?
Thanks.

How about latest development version wine-1.3.19? Also what exactly doesn't
work? Post complete terminal output.

Not sure how to get debug output.  Do I invoke this by typing "debug wine
[app name]]?

and

Please post log files to a site like pastebin.com (Ubuntu has a 
pastebin) and then post ONLY the URL here.

Thanks, I don't need debug anymore;  I can now start, run, and stop the app,
did that by using the new version of playonlinux on Ubuntu.

Now I am trying to figure out how to stop the automatic shading of
various windows.  Playing with the config options. 

Is there any way to turn off ALL shading?  Including recently popped up windows?

Thanks again.

Will do that, thanks.  If that doesn't work, I may try VirtualBox.
