Why do you use wine? If your hardware is fast enough maybe you should try
vmware (not a windows emulator but a virtual machine that allows you to install
windows).
http://www.vmware.com/
You can get a free demo license key and install any windows version (95, 98, NT,
2000) or even linux (may be helpful for kernel development) under linux. I have
tested it and it works fine for me. You can use an existing windows partition
to boot windows inside the virtual machine or create a new virtual disk that is
stored as a file in your linux file system (in order to get rid of the dual
boot). You can even mount a virtual vmware disk under linux (this may sometimes
crash your machine, see vmware homepage)
