This keeps coming up. Perhaps _installing_ wine (which is properly
done as root) should create an empty, read-only _file_ /root/.wine,
so that any subsequent attempt to _run_ wine as root would fail
because the prefix directory doesn't exist and can't be created.
Granted this can't prevent running as root by specifying a different
prefix.
