wine users - Dec 2010 - Wine 1.3.10: config doesn't save anymore!

I wondered why my changes to wineconfig suddenly reappeared! When I change wine
config and apply & close it, no error appears. But next time I start
winecfg, my changes weren't saved! E.g. removing application entries.

The console just show:


Code:

$ winecfg
fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity (0x42f660,-1,(nil),(nil),4,3,(nil),0,(nil)) -
stub!
fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a060,
{485e7de8-0a80-11d8-ad15-505054503030}, 1, 0x33fe00, (null), (null), 0x100a068,)
fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a080,
{485e7de9-0a80-11d8-ad15-505054503030}, 1, 0x33fe00, (null), (null), 0x100a088,)
fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a0a0,

fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a0c0,

fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a0e0,

fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW (0x100778a, 0x100a100,

fixme:win:RegisterDeviceNotificationW (hwnd=0x130b10,
filter=0x54e93c,flags=0x00000001) returns a fake device notification handle!

Maybe because you ran Wine as root.  This is a known byproduct that Wine will
not save settings and it silently does not tell you that settings were not
saved.

Try again with a FRESH wine prefix and DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT!
