If I understand it right, it is a matter of timing.  It is not
convenient for the wineserver to get at the wine command line - some
instances of wine may start after the wineserver has started and chosen
its options, FI - so options the wineserver has to handle it needs to
read from the config file or the environment.  --desktop as a command
line option got in the way of improvements Alexandre was making to the
wineserver, same as --config before it, so it had to go.

Yes, it was useful, but being able to desktop, DllOverrides, and other
options for each individual application should ease the pain some.
