There are various GUI issues with wine, for the most part a recent build will handle Newsbin enough to run reasonably. Lots of 'little ' issues though. I'm running 1.3.12 on SUSE 11.4 and I haven't seen #1 particularly, possibly it's a new wine bug. Understand that Newsbin is built for windows, you get wine usage 'for free, as is'. If wine is doing something windows isn't, it's a wine team issue.
That #2 thing is likely completely unrelated to wine, though, likely something's up with your newsbin config. Try renaming your signature.db3 file.
