wine users - Oct 2011 - Wine will not open programs after updating to Ubuntu 11.10

WIne will not run programs for me after updating to Ubuntu 11.10. It just doesnt
do anything when I click an .exe. I tried starting a program through a Terminal,
it says this:


Code:
huntereb at Huntereb:~/Downloads$ wine DeSmuME.exe
X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
  Major opcode of failed request:  129 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines)
  Serial number of failed request:  110
  Current serial number in output stream:  110
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly
L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
  Major opcode of failed request:  129 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines)
  Serial number of failed request:  110
  Current serial number in output stream:  110




What is happening? I've installed all of the versions on the Ubuntu Software
Center, the same thing. The lines above were taken from Wine 1.3.30. I've
installed it through Terminal and not just the Software Center as well, still
nothing.

So if you can help me, thanks! I'm new to Ubuntu so I need as much help as I
can get...

Wine stopped working for me after upgrading to 11.10( so I downgraded) Try 11.04
distro, the only advice I can give.

Have you ensured that the programs are enabled as "execute as
program"?

This looks like a missing function in your video card drivers.  Thus I 
would like to get which video card and drivers you are using.  If you 
are using an nVidia/ATI card please use the proprietary driver as the 
noveau driver is missing several essential (to Wine) driver functions.

I figured it out, I have been trying to open the programs remotely through a VNC
program. For some reason, wine doesn't let you open programs from a remote
client. I figured this out because I can open programs from my computer not
remotely fine. But if you try it through VNC it doesn't do anything. This is
strange, I've never seen a program act like this before.

So, does anyone know how to enable opening programs with Wine remotely?

Thanks for the help!

Microsoft is hiring people to prove that Open Source Software "Linux"
is unreliable...

its an easy tactic...
to infiltrate the top10 most popular Open Souce softwares
& "Update them" by removing features. "downgrade"

so users & serious developers get discouraged with the free powerful open
source alternative to Microsoft & Mac.

equals = Microsoft stocks go up.
because "Windows is more reliable."

haven't you seen Bill Gates purchasing Homer Simpson Internet company?

people that have lots of money invested in Nasdaq software companies...
are afraid of Linux.
Action has been taken... confidence its restored... stocks go up.
