People have suggested it might be a VNC problem. If Wine is running it
correctly through the local screen & keyboard on the Linux box, try
running an X-server under Windows. Both paid-for:

Exceed    http://connectivity.opentext.com/products/exceed-products.aspx

and OSS:

Cygwin/X  http://x.cygwin.com
Xming     http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/
XWinLogon http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/

are available.

I've used Exceed, though quite a while ago, and haven't used any of the
others, but I can say that Cygwin is generally well regarded - at least
its tool kit for providing a Unix/Linux shell and programs on a Windows
box is. Think of Cygwin as Wine in reverse.
