Yes, there is a great alternative - Winetools.  I maintain the winetools
(alongside the wine packages) at the repositories at
http://www.winehq.org/

Winetools gives very simple GUI setup and eases installation of software
useful to Wine (you can even install Internet Explorer in like 3
clicks).

I've been hounding the developer about releasing a new version recently
that acknowledges the new Wine versions, and I've been doing some work
myself on getting menu entries for it all, but as of now everything
works great from the console.  Just install Wine (fresh), then install
winetools, and type "winetools" at the console.

In the next 6 hours or so I'll be uploading new versions of the Wine and
Winetools packages (we just had a release)

Thanks,
