It sounds like winecfg, and maybe wine itself, isn't a gnome
compatible program then. Back when I tried wine, there was a shell
script that was text-based, and it let you do the configuration in the
text console, so that after it finished, you could simply just run wine.

Hmm, interesting. It doesn't generate any click sounds when natively
running under windows, at least it hasn't for me. As for the restart
message, it sounds like wine is configured to emulate a windows
2k/xp/2k3 system, in which case, wineyes is installing the wineyes
video driver, and since you're being prompted to restart over, and over
again, it's apparently not succeeding in getting itself chained
into the wine video setup, which is very well within the realm of
possibilities. You might just have to settle for running wine as an
emulated win95/98/me setup.
