This sounds like a known nvidia-96 driver bug in Ubuntu 8.10,
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/300476
It only affects older cards (the ones that use the -96 driver).
What nvidia card do you have?

There are two known workarounds for this nvidia driver bug.
1. Disable proprietary nvidia-96 driver (not so good if you want 3d)
and rebooting
- or -
2. Create a text file named render.reg containing the lines
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"ClientSideWithRender"="N"
and then load that with regedit.
For vanilla wine, that's "wine regedit render.reg"
For Picasa for Linux, that's "/opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/wrapper
regedut render.reg"

Do either of these help?

Thanks,
Dan
