I might comment that the users profile folder and the temp folders are not local, but the users profile folder should be unique and the Wine should only ever hand out unique files in temp.  So there is a privacy/security risk of having the temp and user profile folder exposed, but it shouldn't prevent multiuser should it?

Sorry - my idea for a application setup would be all this stuff in the script file be run once, the first time the application is setup.  (I can see where it would cause issues if that ran every time)
