Also, yes, I'm aware that League Of Legends' use of LOCAL_SERVER is probably useless in the case of Wine (because we don't do UAC etc., as you explained) but well, it shouldn't hurt anyway, and some other applications might depend on it so we're better off implementing it correctly anyway. Wish me luck!
I guess never read bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112
At some point wine will have to implement secuirty to allow multi users to use the same prefix at the same time. It is one of the most requested features. Its also up there with one of the hardest to implement.
Implementing it of course is not simple.
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleaseCriteria Sign of highly wanted is when a bug becomes officially tagged as if complete it becomes a trigger for a new version.
Issue is that is unless today with wine. But wine in a few years time could have a issue with it done wrong since a secuirty system will come at some point.
This is part of the reason for the zero tolerance on hacks like you first did. It will explode in our faces. Not today but in a few years time it will for sure.
Now you look to be on the right path. Going after the real fault not hiding it.
Surrogate I wonder how many applications that is stopping from working right. I would guess quite a few.
This is the thing about fixing it right. You always fix more things at the same time.
