Good to know. This answers my question in bug #21644
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21644#c0
It would be a great patch.

That's not the problem. What I also don't know is whether I could hardcode
the directories ~/Documents etc. (these already exist in my /Users/xyz,
(but what about Tiger?)), or whether I ought to call some OSX API that
yields the name of the dir (and possibly creates it if it does not yet exist).
I'm not familiar at all with Mac APIs, but it sounds like an easy patch
for somebody with a little MacOS programming knowledge.

Actually, one day I was fed up with the Gnome and KDE4 GUIs,
so I started looking for something else. The Mac Mini with
NVidia came out right at that time: extremely silent (except
for the CD-ROM), excellent graphics (by far better than
any onboard Intel I knew previously) and it's a UNIX.
