But the applications that are currently listed in Add/Remove Applications are
installed system-wide, and most wine applications will end up in ~/.wine (or
whatever it is these days).  That is an obvious incompatibility.

I guess it's possible to have system-wide wine configurations and C:\ drives,
but I don't foresee much standardization happening there for Ubuntu.
