           Summary: wineserver --persistent doesn't start up system
                    services

wineserver --persistent doesn't start up system services

wineserver --persistent starts up the wineserver process.  However, it
does not start up winedevice.exe, plugplay.exe, services.exe and
explorer.exe.  Instead, those processes are dynamically spawned by the
first Wine process that needs them.  Personally, I would expect
wineserver --persistent or some other similar script to start up all
essential Wine services ahead of time.  As well, if wineserver did not
startup all services I would expect wineserver to spawn
winedevice.exe, plugplay.exe, services.exe and explorer.exe
dynamically and not just have the first wine process that requires
those spawn them.

This is a problem because dynamically spawning those processes
interacts annoyingly with the PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER prctl.  Also,
such processes inherit settigns such as environment variables and
process priority.
