Winebottler issues have to be reported to Mike Kronenberg directly.  We do not support third party applications of any kind.

Can you try installing Wine from either Fink or MacPorts and then use the Power Tap's installer and verify if this is a Wine bug?  If not, can you provide a link where the program or a demo/trial can be obtained?  (I have the same setup on and have the latest version of Wine built on it.)

Are you using XQuartz for the X11 server?  Apple's X11 is buggy and this might be caused by it.
