I've written this script:

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$WINEPREFIX" = "" ]; then
    WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine"
fi
WOWPATH="$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Programme/World of Warcraft"

chmod 770 "$WOWPATH"

# I need padsp for sound output
padsp wine "C:\Programme\World of Warcraft\Launcher.exe" &

# requieres inotify-tools
inotifywait -e attrib "$WOWPATH"
sleep 2

chmod 770 "$WOWPATH"

This enables normal functionality.
