Also as default it's using "winelauncher" instead of standard "wine" binary. That makes it that much more complicated to troubleshoot any problems that users might have.
Could you (or someone else) explain why is it bad to use "winelauncher"?
We don't currently use it in the Mandriva packaging of wine, but a request just got opened asking us to use "winelauncher" instead of "wine": http://bugzilla.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27638
Thanks,
