Well that's why the sandbox is there.

I install Wine for one specific user account that has suitably restricted  
access rights. I do not want wine or wine installer to go outside that  
brief.

I want wine on this system so that I can use on or two bits of windows  
software , I DO NOT want it to start thinking it really IS windows and  
start taking over my computer for me.

That is the fundamental reason why I use Linux and not M$.
