That makes a whole lot of sense to me - I installed wine because there are 
some windows programs I find useful, I don't want to only be able to use them 
if I've put the files I want them to work on in the "right" place. I find it 
annoying enough that windows won't let me CD to a UNC directory.

For people who are using Wine to play games I can see that a totally different 
approach makes sense - for them a sandbox that the game runs in is a perfect 
scenario.

Maybe that is why we are having trouble reaching a consensus here
