Additional Comments
I had to do a few things to get this working. I installed the game through Steam and everything went smoothly. (I installed the Steam client using winetricks) When I tried to run the game however, it would immediately crash. I tried the -NoLauncher option and it didn't work for me. I had to create a file called steam_appid.txt in the following directory: c:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 Open the file in a txt editor, add the number 49520, and save it. Then, if you launch the game directly using Borderlands2.exe, everything works flawlessly. You might have to do some weird screen flipping in Gnome 3 before you set the resolution, but once you set it to windowed mode / your desktop's native resolution everything is fine.

The borderlands lancher is not working with wine. But to run the game, it is this application that steam starts first. To work around the problem, do the following:
Create a file named steam_appid.txt with the contents "49520" (without quotes).
Put this files into the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder
Then, every time you runs the game, first runs steam, and only when steam is running, start the game by running Borderlands2.exe (in the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder)
