Yes, it's on purpose. You can reduce the timeout by using the -p
option to wineserver, but there will be a race in any case. You really
shouldn't be manipulating the registry files directly, you should call
regedit from your scripts. And running wine immediately after exiting
should work fine, could you please give details on what doesn't work?
