No we don't want Wine to function in those cases, and it is part of the ownership test already.

So it is. Well then, there's no need for an additional warning as far as I'm concerned.
The problem is people doing: $ wine setup.exe # program doesn't work/error about admin rights/etc. $ sudo wine setup.exe wine: '/home/user/.wine' is not owned by you, refusing to create a configuration directory there $ sudo su # wine setup.exe
I filed bug 17337 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17337) for this. If you'd like to take a try at it, please do, not sure when I'll have time to do so.
When was this added?
