[K12OSN] Programs for all users using wine

[Robert Arkiletian]

I have the same problem. I don't think there is a work around. Linux 
apps know each user gets their own home folder. So they stick personal 
setting files for each app in /home/jsmith . Window apps under wine know 
nothing about this structure. Wine sets up a fake C: drive in your home 
folder for the app to install. So I had to install it to every user. 
It's a pain I know.  Even if you installed to a public directory with 
read only access most windows programs require write access to save 
settings. M$ Window apps are not written for linux servers.
