You might blame me for not trying this sooner but I do want to point out that I did remove the entire .wine directory, and all related files - for the rest my regular user has only been in use for a few weeks so I didn't think it was that messed up yet.

user. Perhaps the new user is a member of a group that your old user is
not.
