I have good news :-) - 

  Thanks to Vitaliy's help, I've now been able to get both CodeBlocks and
Dev-C++ running on Wine 0.9.3. I have attached screenshots to show this. 
 
 Just in case someone else comes across a similar problem, here is what I did - 

1) Vitaliy mentioned that I should check where Wine was installed, and put the
path into the file '/etc/ld.so.conf' then run 'ldconfing'. 
  I did this. I then tried to run CodeBlocks again, but got similar errors to 
the first time. So, I took a closer look at the errors (duh-I should have done
this first, before posting this bug ;-) ), The file libXxf86vm seemed to be 
missing, according to the error messages. 

2)  So, I went into Synaptic and sure enough, libXxf86vm was not installed. 
    ***Doh*** ... 
 ( By the way, that file is (I found out) an X video mode selection library.)
 The Debian version (in "unstable") has a version number of 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11. 

3)  I installed that using Synaptic. Then, I ran "wine codeblocks-1.0rc2.exe" ,
and it ran perfectly!  I then ran wine devcpp-4.9.9.2_setup.exe and *it* ran
perfectly as well!  

 So, to summarise - I have been able to both install and then run both
CodeBlocks and Dev-C++ successfully. 

 ( CodeBlocks is unable to open files, but that is a CodeBlocks bug, not a Wine
one. It is a Codeblocks error-message that appears, so I can log that with them)

 Anyway, I've learned heaps - especially about ld.so.conf ... - so this should
stand me in good stead in the future. Very many thanks Vitaliy (and all of the
other Wine devs too. )  

 I believe that this "bug" (which wasn't really a bug) can now be marked as
"invalid" , and then closed.     

 - Andy
