The problem is people doing: $ wine setup.exe # program doesn't work/error about admin rights/etc. $ sudo wine setup.exe wine: '/home/user/.wine' is not owned by you, refusing to create a configuration directory there $ sudo su # wine setup.exe I filed bug 17337 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17337) for this.
