Well, I can help you with what these messages me... The first one says "Run
wine in a directory I know about"  It's basicly complaining because it can't
find a Current Working Directory equivalent to give to the windows programs.

The other stuff is mostly junk to help people make wine better... as you learn
how to use wine more, you'll learn to ignore most of them.  The "err" on the
KERNEL32.DLL is because KERNEL32.DLL is of course, the windows kernel, and to
reimplement what programs need out of it in wine is a hefty task... 

The font stuff? :P Wine does that with every application the first time after a
compile.  It should then cache the stuff it finds out in
${HOME}/.wine/cachedmetrics.0 or something akin to that.  If you ever want to
see the pretty stuff again, just delete this file.  OH! Just so you know, it
also updates this font stuff if you install new fonts on your system. (Is
personally still kinda mad that wine was crashing on this part when he had the
windows fonts installed, but he doesn't know where the problem is.  With wine,
with xfs, or... most likely... with the windows fonts.)
