Proposed fix
Recent wine versions abort on startup if the config directory isn't owned by the user running wine.
This breaks setups where several users share a common wine prefix (e.g. to make applications that make heavy use of the registry available to several users without installing them several times) and they have the right access to the configs through group permissions.
Unless I'm overlooking a better way to do this, it would make more sense to check proper permissions than to check ownership. I'm attaching a patch that does that.
