wine, VNC and LTSP and OpenGL

I have a LTSP server running FC6 with several thin-client terminals, and also
some remote users through VNC.

I have a program (MYOB, the old Windows accounting program) that used to work
fine under Wine, until a recent update.

Now that program crashes with an error "X Error Bad Pixmap 54(X_free Pixmap)
WGL: X11DRV_WineGL_Init OpenGL info: Couldn't initialize OpenGL"

It works fine on when run directly on the server, but trying to use it from any
of the thin clients or remotely no longer works.

When I start the program (before it crashes) it says: 

 Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo  couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect
problems Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo  couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect
problems

Then it runs until I try to open the accounting data file, then it crashes with
the error first listed above.

Is there any way to tell wine to not attempt to use OpenGL?  I tried
--disable-opengl and a few variations of that on the commandline after doing
some Google searches, but without success.
