To test this hypothesis, try setting the DISPLAY environment variable to point directly to the computer you are using as the display (and making sure that machine is set to allow the remote machine to use the display), and see if the problem continues.
If it does, then my hypothesis is wrong. If it starts working, then that would tend to confirm my hypothesis that Wine is being confused by the "localhost" in the DISPLAY variable.
I tried that about a week ago. The problem continues.
