Yes, one wineserver per ./wine directory. That is something I 
had to learn the hard way as well. I actually haven't seen a 
case where the wineserver didn't die automatically, but what 
can happen is that a given application will release all its 
windows but not quit, leaving that stray process plus the 
wineserver. Killing the last process usually takes the 
wineserver with it a couple seconds later.

How do you suggest making it clearer? A paragraph in the docs?
