Does it actually create the directory /home/wec/.wine ?
Is there anything in it after this happens?
Have you tried running the wincfg program as root?
A dumb question, but I'll ask anyway, you are in an x-windows
session, right?
Also, try setting a WINEDEBUG option and dump the output
to a file. Perhaps it will shed some light on the issue.
When I run (with a working wine system):
WINDEBUG="+all" winecfg >& ./winecfg.debug
This produces about 68M of output, so you might try just using
"warn+all" and maybe that will show enough to give you a heads up
as to the problem.

Try using "kill -KILL". That always takes care of any stubborn
processes on my system.
