[Wine] Installation and Winecfg questions

When I run winecfg from a terminal, it starts by complaining:

-bash $ Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo  couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect 
problems
err:wgl:has_opengl Intialization of OpenGL info failed, disabling OpenGL!
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo  couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect 
problems
err:wgl:has_opengl Intialization of OpenGL info failed, disabling OpenGL!



Now, according to my Xorg log:
(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
    compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.7184
    Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
    ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension GLX
(II) LoadModule: "int10"

I do have GLX loaded.

I don't have any obvious problems with winecfg, so maybe the message is 
nothing to worry about.  However, I do have problems running games on 
CD, and any likely cause needs investigation.

As a bit of a PS: I've configured all my real users so the 
~/.wine/dosdevices/c: links to a shared "/var/lib/wine/drive_c".  If 
this were a real windows machine, the drive would be shared by all.  I'm 
really surprised the default setup isn't something like this! What am I 
missing?
