	For me (at least) this is correct. Most of my application crashes. Even 
classical games like Unreal Tournament crashes.

	Read carefully. I said "Wine must work out-of-the-box in all cases where this 
is possible". I didn't said "Wine must work out-of-the-box, enabling write 
access to all hard drives to all programs, don't care about security at all, 
etc.". If we can implement something without sacrificing minor security 
(which is NX-protection issue for Wine) - good. But if not - workaround is 
better than nothing.

	User must have simple way to choose what he wants. User (especialy newbie) 
wants to run his apps and not to tweak registry. I agree with AJ - 
implementing configurable pop up is good idea.

	I agree. Configurable option is great. Especialy if even newbie can use it by 
default.
