[Wine] winecfg not creating ~/.wine/config file

Hello,

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

flo@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@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@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:

flo@HAL2000 ~ $ winecfg

Maybe it's a stupid question but... are you sure it has write access to 
/home/flo/.wine (check ls -lhd /home/flo/.wine )

That's really weird, wine doesn't use 0.9.10 anymore for some time; are 
you sure you uninstalled the old version completely? It might be the 
cause of the other problems too, though I'm not sure

Hi,
as i read the fucking manual on the winehq page correctly, the config
file has no need in wine since wine ..., i do not now.

Wine put all things in user.reg and system.reg, and user the .config
only for the dosdevices directory.

What you need is write access to your windows system directoy, i make
chmod 777 to have no discussions with wine.

One tip, when you stop wine, or winecfg and change something in the
config, make sure that no wineserver or wine process is running,
because IMHO the new configs will not be used untill you do kill all
wineserver and wine processes running in backround.
