Ok, let's forget that function. Was just an idea, no need for it. 

And I understand the viewpoint that Wine 
- want to make applications looks like Windows
- doesn't want to use hacks to make more Windows programs run (better)

But since more than one developer here wants a different behaviour for his application (see my previous message) we only ask for a simple "getNativeOS" function. Then it's our trouble to handle the wanted customizations (in my case the use of the native Finder style for Mac OS X and the native Nautilus style for Linux to handle the file dialog boxes (just an example). I want a more user-friendly application and not an exact copy of Windows.

Also is it possible to run always own  distributed native linux/mac binaries even with a hardened Linux sandbox?
