wine users - May 2010 - Wine not saving settings upon exiting.

I have successfully installed Wine 1.1.42 under 64bit Ubuntu 10.04.

When I try to configure it, if I try to "Add application" under the
"Applications" tab, click Apply and OK, when I return, the list is
empty.

If I add a drive under the "Drives" tab, it forgets my changes with
each reboot, even after I mount the drive b4 opening Wine. Quite annoying.

Is there a fix to these annoyances? Thx.

The drive mapping problem is a known bug:

For adding applications, I never noticed this before, but it appears that you
have to customize at least one setting for the app for Wine to remember it.  I
don't know if that should be considered a bug or not; there's really no
point in adding apps in the first place if you don't need to customize their
settings in winecfg.
