fcmartins way does work.  But we don't go around recommending due to a few issues.

Number 1 applications that only allow one per user to be run.  Yes it can get really screwy with the setup the Ubuntu users describe.  Particular if the event of two users running it ever happened.  Multi head setups.

Number 2 the wine system normally ends up with access to everyone usb devices and the like.  So if infected will infect everyone.

Even the shared location has issues.  Particular with application updating and registry records.
