Check the installed package files (e.g. "dpkg -S wineserver")
Check your PATH (maybe it was installed in /usr/local/bin or similar;
normally it should be in the same place as the wine binary)
If locate is installed, try 'updatedb' then 'locate wineserver'.

Kill winedevice.exe as well

You can try "wine taskmgr" (doesn't seem to work for me, though)

Alternatively, use different wineprefixes
