I made a few changes and I got this message:

NOTE; if the "login status" is blocking access to the OK button then do the following: 
click on the login window, press Alt-F4, then read the message below.
Google Earth could not start in "OpenGL" mode. It is suggested you exit and start 
Google Earth again after trying one of the following:
    1) Set color depth to "True Color" in display properties
    2) Start google after waiting a minute
    3) Close others apps.
Otherwise try DirectX

I tried this. It failed miserably. It would be nice if it did work.
    

Big improvement!!!!
Found the following at:
    http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=3254

The important bits are summarized below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This howto is written for a complete fresh install of Google Earth in a
freshly created .wine directory:

1. Download GoogleEarth and install (just click OK in the messagebox about
the missing psapi.dll)

2. Copy the font Arial.TTF into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts (copy it for
example from a windows partition)

Thanks Jeremy Azevedo/Tim Harper for the following marvelous tip :

3. a) Open the file ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Google\
Earth/kvw/default_lt.kvw
    b) Take out the word "RenderFrame" (line ~44) and take out the word
"NavigationFrame" (line ~59)
    c). Save the file

4. Set wineversion to Windows XP using winecfg 

5. Run GoogleEarth by

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="usp10,msvcrt=n" wine "c:\Program Files\Google\Google
Earth\GoogleEarth.exe"
(Google Earth comes with it's own usp10.dl and msvcrt, so no need to
download/copy this)

6. Resize the little Earth window to it's correct size and drag it to its
correct position. It should look something like:
