This bug was reported a week ago and is unassigned and has undecided importance. I can't decide the importance for Ubuntu, but I can tell you the importance for me: show-stopper. I can't prove it is the same bug, but at the same time as all these games failed due to an error using OpenGL, all of my WINE games broke too. World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, Portal.

Booting with Ubuntu 10.04, using the same WINE version, and the same program directories, they work perfectly. I'm using the free version of WoW, so Ubuntu testers can try it out themselves.
I suspect it is the same error because this is the first line of the errors produced starting WoW:
steven@galactica:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft$ wine Wow.exe
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems

Gaming is far from the only thing I do, but this bug affects a more than just a handful of indie games (the ones listed just happen to be from the Humble Indie Bundle). It seems to affect many things that use OpenGL.
