Tried everything you suggest.  Colin was spot on with his duplicate.  
I'd tried looking for it but hadn't tried what he had tried.  The 
duplicate seems to assume the problem exists in wine. Mint, from scratch 
in a fresh installation which I did yesterday uses the identical Ubuntu 
packages from the Ubuntu repos.  This is using 'sudo apt-get install 
wine' in the Mint commandline.  Same packages, identical directory 
structure - but one works, the other doesn't.

Thanks Colin.  I've posted to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.6/+bug/1383214 giving a 
bit of the story and putting in a link to #1414995

Kind regards,        Barry.
