It has been suggested that this will help Wine work better on Hardy Heron. I have mouse jump problems on mouseOver inside Wine dialog boxes.
In other words, when I move the arrow cursor over any part of a Wine Window except the top grab bar, the arrow jumps left and up about a centimeter. Unfortunately mouse clicks are sent as though the mouse was still where one would expect it to be. In other words, with the arrow cursor over the Wine dialog box, the cursor is up and left of where mouse clicks are sent from.

System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects and set them to None.

OK. I disabled Compiz and I still have the problem. (Incidentally, it appeared to be off/disabled when I went to disable it. I tried to enable it just for the heck of it and it did not allow enablement.)
