I made a few changes and I got this message:<br>
<br>
<pre>NOTE; if the "login status" is blocking access to the OK button then do the following:
click on the login window, press Alt-F4, then read the message below.</pre>
<pre>Google Earth could not start in "OpenGL" mode. It is suggested you exit and start
Google Earth again after trying one of the following:</pre>
<pre> 1) Set color depth to "True Color" in display properties</pre>
<pre> 2) Start google after waiting a minute</pre>
<pre> 3) Close others apps.</pre>
<pre>
Otherwise try DirectX</pre>

Big improvement!!!!
Found the following at:

The important bits are summarized below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This howto is written for a complete fresh install of Google Earth in a
freshly created .wine directory:
1. Download GoogleEarth and install (just click OK in the messagebox about
the missing psapi.dll)
2. Copy the font Arial.TTF into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts (copy it for
example from a windows partition)
Thanks Jeremy Azevedo/Tim Harper for the following marvelous tip :
3. a) Open the file ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Google\
Earth/kvw/default_lt.kvw
b) Take out the word "RenderFrame" (line ~44) and take out the word
"NavigationFrame" (line ~59)
c). Save the file
4. Set wineversion to Windows XP using winecfg
5. Run GoogleEarth by
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="usp10,msvcrt=n" wine "c:\Program Files\Google\Google
Earth\GoogleEarth.exe"
(Google Earth comes with it's own usp10.dl and msvcrt, so no need to
download/copy this)
6. Resize the little Earth window to it's correct size and drag it to its
correct position. It should look something like:
