What works
Far (and similar console32 executables) works ONLY if started in wineconsole, not wine itself! It is in the man.
So you can use it as described:
wineconsole --backend=user far.exe
And I share Miguel's opinion on Far: it's excellent. It's actually one of the things I wish very *very* much to have in Ubuntu.
What does not
Several small things, as described by Miguel here
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1250
What I wanted to add is that I suggest NOT TO REPAIR wineconsole to run with far 1.0, but instead try compiling the upcoming Far Unicode open source version, which is here:

Good luck!

What was not tested

I use in my configuration to start FAR this:
wineconsole --backend=curses cmd.exe /c c:/path/to/Far.exe /ag /x 'c:\\'
to start a Far window with the root in 'c:\'. The commandline switches are:
1.) /ag Disable display of pseudographics characters
2.) /x Disable exception handling
Works fine for me. With '--backend=user' T got a very very small window in graphic mode. This was to small for me. So I use the text-modus.
