Modifying config.wtf is not necessary as long as you pass the option "-opengl" to Wow.exe, as the OP has done.

WoW does not need any of its own system libraries or registry keys to run, so installing it under a prefix is not necessary. The copy of WoW I use runs from a folder I copied to my home directory from an installation I used in Windows and is operating as expected.

This error looks like it's driver related. If wine cannot load the GLX extensions, it means a driver capable of hardware acceleration is not installed or being used by Xorg.
