It seems like some required X11 extension is missing from VNC's X server. It looks like wine or your application is requesting "video modes". Does the windows program that you're trying to start have some specific required color depth or resolution? If so, you could try to start the VNC X server with the need resolution/color depth? If you are capable of remote display of X, you could try running Xephyr to start an X session instead of VNC, since Xephyr tends include more X extensions.
