Hi!

I have the same problem: wincfg hangs the hole(!) System up. i just can do
nothing, but pressing the ALT+DRUCK+k keys. Then starts a new Session. winecfg
creates a directory as described (~/.wineSOMECHARACTERS).

I'm running Ubuntu(Debian) 7.10, named Gutsy Gibbon, on a Laptop with AC97
Sound. The graphic is via (KM400/KN400), using the openchrome driver.
Everything works fine, but 'wine' isn't working at all. I need wine for my
Homebankingsoftware and evtll for more!

Something special:
1. Boot my Laptop with an different Linuxsystem: Ubuntu 7.04. This Live-CD open
a "clean" usable Linuxsystem from CD. On this older Version i installed wine
and start with 'winecfg' at the Terminal: It runs! I could even start the
wineprograms mine, notepad and so on.
2. Boot my Laptop with Live CD and Ubuntu 7.10. Install wine and run winecfg in
a Terminal: System hangs!! Only pressing the ALT+DRUCK+k keys gave me the
command back (starting a new session with typing user and password)!
With this (1+2), i can compare a running wine with a 'broken' wine (Sorry for
my bad english) 

3. If winecfg hangs, the ~/.wineSOMECHARACTERS directory is not complete. The
hierachy of the directory seemes to be complete, but some files are missing.
4. The last file made in the ~/.wineSOMECHARACTERS directory is the 'user.reg'.
This file ends with the line:

"[Software\\Wine\\WineDbg] 1199467502"(The Number is various)

I do not think, that this is right.

Hope (with some other people i think) that this will be fixed.

If you need some other information, please ask.
