Try running your delphi app from command line and see if wine outputs some error on the terminal.

I've had Delphi 7 running on Wine without too many problems - I'd rate it 'Silver'. The problem is, when you're trying to develop stuff on it, imo, nothing short of a Gold-rating is acceptable. The menu glitches and the occasional crashes that I experienced with it had me returning to my VirtualBox/WinXP setup in short order! Where it proved really useful was in getting stuff like Richtext manipulations to work properly on both M$ and Linux.
