Thanks for the help. I looked at the graphics tab and unchecked the "let
window manage handle window" option. This worked although the window
borders were very win95 and it was always on top. Out of curiosity I
checked it again and for some reason it now works correctly showing the
maximise buttons. This is better because the window behaves normally. It
seems that unchecking and then rechecking that option 'fixed' the initial
problem somehow.
After a bit of fiddling I set up a menu entry to launch the program more
easily.
btw I am running kde. I first installed wine from the ubuntu repos and it
created menu entries for wine config etc but upgraded to the winehq
version for ubuntu which is more up to date but that has remoed the menu
entries ?
Thanks again

It is a small single .exe program that can be run in windows without
installing. I first installed the version of wine in the ubuntu repos
and have since upgraded to the most recent version available in the
winehq repos but get the same problem with both versions.
I have managed to get the program to run but there is no maximise
button and I cannot 'grab' the window border to resize it. I just put
the prog .exe into the c:\Programs directory created by wine and ran
it by right clicking on the exe and selecting open with wine.
Also how do I create a more convenient way of starting the prog? I
assume I could create a shortcut but what would be the command needed
to run that exe through wine?
What settings are you using in the Graphics tab of winecfg?
Which window manager are you using in Linux?
a more convenient way to start the program would be to create an
appropriate .desktop file and put it in your desktop folder. It will
have an Exec value of 'wine 'C:\Programs\<filename>.exe
