What's the ownership on your ~/.wine?  If the ownership or permissions got 
changed on that, it could cause part of your problem.

Waiting for some version number to roll over will not fix your problem (and in 
the RPM world, that will probably require a reinstall anyway).  Proactively 
trying to solve the problem will fix the problem.
