Hello,

after a fresh install, wine 0.9.10 wont start while giving the following errors:

flo at HAL2000 ~ $ wine
can't create key_t for shm: No such file or directory
wineserver: chdir /home/flo/.wine : No such file or directory


winecfg also wont start:

flo at HAL2000 ~ $ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/flo/.wine'...
Can't open configuration file /home/flo/.wine-Btgcy6/config
wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/flo/.wine'.

if i mkdir ~/.wine, wine failes with:

flo at HAL2000 ~ $ wine
Can't open configuration file /home/flo/.wine/config


but winecfg does not create that file, it creates nothing but errors. The
program starts and i can configure everything, but no files are created:
