| It prevents this case:

| $ sudo wine app.exe

Then how about a patch that specifically prevents users from running wine
as root over a profile that is not owned by root? I am trying to run wine
as a non-root user over a profile owned by another non-root user that has
been chmod'ed appropriately.
