A. well, fine, I suppose we could argue all day over what "most users" might do, but I myself certainly run more than "one or two apps" under Wine, because 1) I play games and 2) there are currently about 4 apps that are more convienient for me to run under Wine atm than to try to under

You could have c: = ~/.wine/c_drive c:\My Documents\ = ~/Documents c:\Program Files\ = ~/Windows Progs d: = /mnt/cdrom Then wiping your ~/.wine would preserve your files, and with those apps that don't require registry settings would just work without a reinstall (Pegasus Mail is a good example).

Don't forget that My Documents is on c: by default. Hmm, that's true. That should definitely be fixed. I don't even think we map the home directory in wineprefixcreate by default, do we? I think Marcus' patch adds that. Also, reinstalling all apps just because you upgraded Wine seems a bit overk
