I recently was having this exact same issue.  

Everything worked up to the point when you were to (after loading) enter the
world.  It would crash.  

I tried a few things; Got the latest version of Wine, changed my video drivers
(NVidia) version.  During the last which was changing the video driver versions
I had to turn off gdm.  I started X again afterwords (without rebooting) and it
just so happened that a different window manager was the default.  I started up
WoW and bang, everything worked perfectly.  I thought "Hmm...  wonder if it had
something to do with the window manager",  so I tried running it in
enlightenment and had the exact same problem again.  Ran it in a shell, or twm,
or Windowmaker (the only other window managers I tried) and it worked perfectly
every time.

Goes to show, sometimes reducing the environment to it's simplest level is a
good starting position.

Hope this helps someone.  I'm sure glad I'm able to play without issues.  :)

Cheers.
