You are not the only one, not for the desktop (I like the integration)
but definitely for the delimited drives.

Doing this for the convenience of day-one wine users, that happen to be
first-day linux users as well, that don't read any messages seems to me
absurt.

(However, the latest generation of users seem to start their wine
experience by point-an-click on an .exe in some filemanager. They won't
see the messages sent to stderr. 
Perhaps we should instead of error message "blabla.exe not accessible
from a configured", make this a plain MessageBox() call? )
