------- Additional Comments From dclark at akamail.com  2003-25-10 11:50 -------
Installing an application as root has no affect on the security of the program
when executed, unless the program is installed SUID root, and no Wine programs
are installed SUID. Wine should always be *executed* as a normal user. If you
wish to install Wine as a normal user, that's fine. But this is not a Wine bug.
