If you're still having this problem, please make sure you are not on a

Alternatively, you can go into winecfg->Drives->Show Advanced and
change the Type from Autodetect to "Local hard disk".
Indeed, this was the problem! On my FC4 machine, my home directory is NFS
mounted.
I guess a lot of applications might behave bad with C: being a Network
drive. It seems a lot safer to tag C: as "Hard disk" as default. What
about this patch?:
