Do we really need them in the registry at all? It would seem a lot safer to load them directly from some system dir.
The trouble is not knowing which is the correct system dir / file. It changes from distro to distro, from version to version. Guessing seems less safe (to me) than getting them from some known-good source, or from allowing the user to specify the correct source.
As long as you don't try paths under /home, even a moderate amount of guessing seems safer than storing them in a user-writable file. How many different paths are there really? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
