[Wine] keyboard inop as user, works as root

[unclejed613]

recently installed wine on a slackware 12.2 system. both root and the non-root user account have separate wine filesystems, so there's nothing globally installed. as the non-root user, i ran winetricks and installed a majority of the items in winetricks, and now all programs in wine under the non-root account have no keyboard input. was there something that winetricks installed that can cause this, and how do i return to a plain vanilla wine (if nothing else works)?
