Try commenting out the

"Display" = ":0.0"

or

"Display" = "tux:10.0"

to

; "Display" = ":0.0"

in .wine/config , as I for one am not seeing this problem and can
bring up Borland C++ remotely (yes, it's slow, as I have a 56k :-) )

This might be a FAQ somewhere, but I can't say I know offhand.
I'm not seeing the problem, and my build is relatively current.
