--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello,

I think you have a misconception about the scope/capabilities of Wine.
Hint: It's not an operating system.

The principles/concepts of Linux (Unix) dictate why the capability to directly
shut down a Linux host should never be built into Wine by design.

The actual "shutdown/reboot" of desktop sessions is carried out by 'wineboot'
program, respectively '--end-session', '--restart' and '--shutdown' parameters
passed to it.

Of course there are many ways to achieve a "real" shutdown of Linux host.
For example executing 'dbus-send' with appropriate parameters (Wine allows
execution of native Linux apps).

Regards
