I'm not sure since I don't track the exact times of changes,
but it's no more true currently, even if it was in August.
The current format looks like this :

[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell
Folders] 997650225
"Common Desktop"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Desktop"
"Common Programs"="C:\\WINDOWS\\"
"Common Start Menu"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu"
"Common StartUp"="C:\\WINDOWS\\All Users\\Start
Menu\\Programs\\StartUp"

Anyway, you are supposed now to import a basic registry
by installing Wine using wineinstall, or if you use a rpm by
using regapi on the provided template file (winedefault.reg)
If these files are missing in your package, it's a bad package.
You are better off using source in most cases with an alpha
software like Wine.
Note : regapi syntax is obtained by running it without
parameters.
