Remove ~/.wine directory. Reinstall Steam as describe on AppDB's Steam howto: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1554
If the problem persists, attach complete terminal output. What exact game are you starting?
The first thing I do is remove the ~/.wine directory everytime and start from complete scratch... Its very bizarre. I've compiled different versions of wine as well but still get the same thing. So far its been consistant for happening with Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat Source. Counter-Strike Source works perfect however.
As far as terminal output goes, what winedebug flags should I set?
