Leszek, maybe it was not just the ~/.wine directory recreated. I also installed some stuff to satisfy wine build dependencies. Just accidentally I kept a backup of the old ~/.wine directory. Just a while ago, I moved my new ~/.wine aside and put the old one back in place. Guess what. I was working like a charm. Maybe it's worth to try it this way, too.
Man, this sounds like pure voodoo. And guess what, I have tried changing my .wine directories. Nothing, nada. GP5 just keeps throwing that access violation at me.
