On my laptop I've just installed Lubuntu 10.10. (I was running 10.04 and was about to upgrade in place, but I got my hands on a bigger hard drive, so instead I just did a fresh install on the new drive.) Everything works great in 10.10, except Wine. When I try to open something in Wine--even the configuration window or the add/remove programs window--it starts to come up, then crashes my desktop. That is, the whole screen goes blank and I'm being challenged to log in to the system. In Windows I would have said the program suddenly logged me out. If I wipe the drive and install 10.04, Wine works great. But in 10.10, it just fails to run and crashes me out--whether I'm running the stable or beta version of Wine.

Which video card and video card drivers are you using? Lastly, what is the kernel version you are using? James McKenzie
