I'm experiencing the same issue with Wine 1.1.27: the splash screen vanishes after a few seconds, leaving an empty virtual desktop.
I've tried every single howto on the internet to install EVE, the tips mentionned above, but nothing solved it. I'm gonna commit suicide with a butter-knife.
In addition, note that this issue did not appear when I tried to install from the not-up-to-date Windows installer (downloaded from http://www.eveonline.com/download/windows.asp): after the splash screen, the logon screen was displayed. However, the patching process of the client failed, so I had to try with the full and up-to-date EVE installer (from http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php)... Which does not pass the splash screen.
