Well, if so then isn’t harmful but as I already said providing mechanism to
disable such detection is good idea anyway, like command-line switch (useful
if user dislike such things like additional logos not shown on Windows,
etc.).

Yes it’s normal. I have the same problem here. I have reposrted the =

I think his goal was simply to display it on the screen for his users, so
they can easily deliver that information without knowing much about linux.
It is a notable request.

Think of a “powered by wine” logo in the upper right hand corner. I will
help him, as a software developer to distinguish what clients are running
wine, and what wine versions they are having their issues with.

I don’t think Cedric is trying to code Wine-version-specific work-arounds.

       By definition, if you are trying to detec=
t WINE and this is successful – this
is a bug. And there is no warranty that registry key you are testing doesn&=
#39;t
exist on Windows or exist on WINE (at least user can create it by hand in
Windows registry or remove it in WINE registry; or after some time it might=

be changed/removed in WINE registry).
       If there is any bugs, please report them at http://bugs.winehq.org .
       If you decide to keep WINE-detection at least p=
rovide documented command-line
keys to disable it. For example, I saw one application that tries to detect=

WINE and if this is successful it changes its behavior in some places and I=

prefer to disable that because modern WINE works much better that at the ti=
me
the program (and its WINE-related workarounds) was created.
       In other words, any attempt to detect WINE, or,=
even worse, its version, is
strongly discouraged practice (because relying on such a thing means relyin=
g
on bugs).
       If you *really* require some workarounds ASAP, =
then you can give a user to
choose (either in menu/options dialog or at first startup) does he/she use
WINE or not – but this is also discouraged practice.
       Don't forget to report a bug if you found o=
ne!
