Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /home/(user)/.xsession-errors for any relevant errors and warnings about drivers,etc. It looks to be a video driver / X / Glx interaction problem somewhere not wine exactly. Turn off Compiz and switch to Metacity (no effects) and see if it still happens. What's the output of 'lsmod' ?
