wine users - Dec 2008 - No text or buttons/icons

Good morning. I have been having problems with WINE and not being able to see
the text or buttons/icons at the top of the app, or when I open any of the tabs.
I have the latest version of WINE and am still having the same problems. If I
click on the individual tabs all I get is a quick view (faster then a blink of
an eye) of the text, so I can not even configure WINE if I wanted to. Please
help this is driving me nuts. I am using Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 with the KDE
add-on. This problem existed before I installed the KDE add-on. Thanks in
advance for any help with this problem.

Are we to assume that you are talking about the Wine configuration application? 
You did not state this in your post.  If I'm incorrect, please tell us the
name of the application you are trying to use.

config no text is displayed.

Abut 10% of the posts on this forum seem to be talking about this same bug right
now. It might be a good idea to temporarily have a sticky topic about it...
