wine users - Jun 2009 - Google SketchUp 7 won't start again.

About 3 weeks ago I downloaded and installed Sketchup 7 on my Ubuntu Jaunty
linux machine with Wine 1.1.22 installed.  Since then I have started Sketchup
several times and it has always started.  Well, day before yesterday I was
actually going to use it, but when I launched it all I got was the icon in the
taskbar telling me that Sketchup was starting, and then it went away.  No error
messages or anything.  I also have another app that now does the same thing.

I un-installed wine via Synaptic, deleted the ~/.wine directory and started
over.

I re-installed Wine (1.1.22 again), used winetricks to add several things
including mdac28, msi2, msxml6, vb6run, vcrun2005 (and vcrun2005sp1), ie6,
allfonts, allcodecs, and fontfix.  I also tried to install Gecko for another
app, but when I select it and try to install it, nothing at all happens except
the Winetricks window closes.  Then I installed Sketchup 7 again.  No help.  I
still get the same thing.  Icon in taskbar for10-12 seconds and it goes away.

I read about how to get a log file to diagnose things and when I run 
[code]wine sketchup.exe &> winelog.txt[/code]
I get this:

It seems to me that the vcrun2005 should have taken care of this, but obviously
not.  Any other ideas that I can try??

Machine is a 2.4Ghz p-4 with 1GB ram.  Video card is nVidia 6200 and I am using
the latest proprietary nVidia driver - 180.  I do have some part of Compiz
installed.  I use the Compiz Fusion icon to enable a couple of desktop effects,
but it does not matter if I disable compiz and use metacity.  The same thing
happens.  When I look at System Settings>Preferences>Appearance>Visual
Effects "None" is selected.

TIA,

Reinstalling Wine itself is not usually necessary or helpful. What usually needs
to be done is to delete or rename ~/.wine and reinstall the app to a clean
wineprefix. Have you tried that?

According to the most recent test in the AppDB, the only things that Sketchup 7
needs installed with winetricks are corefonts, vcrun6, and possibly dotnet20 for
some 3rd party plug-ins.
