I seem to recall Alexandre explained this... DISPLAY is
sensed when the first Wine process is started, and
ignored after that.   I can demonstrate this easily.
Start a 2nd X server using Xnest:
   $ sudo apt-get install xnest
   $ Xnest -ac :1
Then start off the first wine process:
   $ wineserver -k
   $ DISPLAY=:1 notepad
And in another window, try to start a new wine app:
   $ winecfg
When I do that, the 2nd app crashes with
   X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
      Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)

I'd say this bug is still present.  We should at least
print out a nice error that explains what's going on.
