This is weird.  First, your windows manager is apparently getting killed.   
Second, why did you install the freetype2 rpm?  First, your distro should 
have that already (what is your distro?).  Is your desktop Gnome or KDE?  
Either KDM or GDM is not starting up for some reason.  And finally, how the 
heck did you install wine?  I did that several dozen times and never had 
anything close to what you are having.  RPM, SRPM or tarball?  What is the 
problem with Truetype fonts?
