wine users - Feb 2006 - winecfg doews not start - X_CreateWindow error

Hello there,

It was working just fine for two hours.
Last thing i did in winecfg was setting display to 32bit colors, maybe a bad
idea since me laptop only supports 24bit but the progam i wanted to run
complaied about display modes
Now wine will not run any programs and even wincfg won't start. I get

~$ winecfg
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  23
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

I tried complete removing and reinstalling wine via synaptic then via
apt-get and finally by compiling it, but the error message stays the same.
Is there any way to fix this without reinstalling the whole system?

   Make sure that when you completely remove it, that you're deleting
the .wine directory from your users dir, too.  Since this houses all
the settings for wine, they have to be deleted too, or the new instance
of wine will continue to react as it did before the reinstall.
