Last week I noticed that WineMine was not saving its options and best
scores. Looking at the code I found that the values were being saved in
HKLM\Software\The Wine Team\WineMine but were being restored from
HKLM\Software\Wine\WineMine! The latter seemed nicer so I submitted a
patch.

Unfortunately I did my debugging and testing on Windoze, and only checked
it on Wine today - and WineMine still doesn't keep its settings. On
investigation it seems that registry values under HKLM\Software\Wine are
not only not being saved, but any values inserted into the registry file
are deleted the next time a Wine app is run. Modifying WineMine back to
use HKLM\Software\The Wine Team\WineMine works perfectly.

Is this by design?
