--- Comment #11 from wphred74@hotmail.com 2011-10-06 21:10:19 CDT --- I loaded an older (1.2x) version of Wine and Sketchup 8 works again. Based on the time I started having trouble, the problem originates in either 1.3.27 or 1.3.28. I am going to try installing newer and newer versions of Wine until I can confirm which version initiates the problem for Sketchup.
Is this of any value, or do you already know which version starts the problem?
