Wine is alpha software, so this should be expected. Besides that, all you have to do is
$ mv .wine .wine-save $ wineprefixcreate
OK, thanks. I'll try that. But seriously: alpha software or no, it is completely impractical to delete your private registry files.

In fact, I've just tried it and it's completely blasted away my gecko installation and all of my configuration settings. So I don't think I'll be doing THAT again in a hurry....
