$ winecfg
Creating link /home/scytheman/.kde/socket-scy.
can't create mcop directory

(after I activated the audio tab)

Jesse Allen, I don't think that it is a pure system configuration problem. Wine 
works fine, even with sound. Only winecfg crashes after activating the audio 
tab, because wine (or some strange application executed by wine (which I can't 
locate with a strace)) wants to access a non-existent directory.

I don't know why wine assumes that arts is installed if there is a /usr/bin/
artsc-config. Shouldn't it look for the artsd binary instead? And I think it 
shouldn't crash if the directory /tmp/ksocket-$USER doesn't exist, because it 
doesn't mean that there is a serious problem with the sound/system setup.

There has to be some workaround. As I already said, I am not the only one with 
this problem.
