I actually have figured out where the issue is stemming from.  It looks to be
the suggestion about the opengl 32 bit libraries may have been it.

The geforce gtx 285 that I have fails to initialize a proper driver on a clean
install so I was using the driver I had been using prior to the "clean"
installs which was NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run from Nvidia's
website.

Under the scenario where the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2 driver was
working I had previously used the nvidia-glx-180 driver from the ubuntu
restricted drivers list.  When I did my upgrade the opengl libraries from the
previous driver stuck around which filled the gap of the ones that newer
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2 missed.

I have done the installation and reinstallation several times now and the
result i get is this

Working scenario.

Clean install do all updates to the system ( aptitude update > upgrade ) then
install restricted approved driver ( aptitude install nvidia-glx-180 ).  At
this point ubuntu starts and I install WINE 1.1.27 based on the instructions
from winehq.com. 
Winecfg starts and there is no crash error reported and the Mount Manager works
right from the start.  
After this I can then upgrade to the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2 drivers
and everything still works.

Non Working Scenerio

Clean install do all updates to the system ( aptitude update > upgrade ) then
installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2 drivers. reboot into ubuntu and
the first start of any wine application or winecfg generates a crash with
wineboot.exe complains and suggest to go to winehq.com.  However winecfg still
starts but the key indicator something is broken is the mount manager entry is
not in the system.reg and you cant see drives in winecfg menu.


Long story short it looks like the Drivers supplied by Nvidia in latest release
have trouble installing the opengl libraries.  At least that is what it looks
like at the moment.

Im still looking into what is so differant about the installs other than just
the versioning.  This case can probably be closed unless I find something on
the wine side that may need to be addressed.

thanks :)
