http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17142

           Summary: Wine , functionality problems when NOT run as superuser.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: andre.kjellstrup(a)gmail.com


Ubuntu 8.10, Wine 1.0.1

Please check:

$wine regedit 
this opens regedit, I *cannot* rename any key (nothing happens when pressing
F2), and there are visual background-errors on icons(please see screenshot)

@sudo regedit
opens the regedit, I am able to rename any key, and there the window looks as
it's supposed to.


-Similiar problems appear within other windows-applications as well.

it was my fault !  I should have read FAQ 7.9 before trying this stuff.
FAQ 7.10 fixed it.

-maybe wine should simply deny to run as SUDO ?
-this is not a bug, but mey be converted into a suggestion.

If you remove ~/.wine and retry, does it work?

You've probably ran as root/sudo before, botched your permissions, then retried
as non-root, which fails.

Since we clearly say not to run Wine as root (in the faq) and document how to
fix it, this isn't really a bug.
