ATM wineserver is incapable of handling multiple users. In a sense it is single user application. Also, don't forget that wineserver is responsible for registry. And registry comes from ~/.wine (or more correct $WINEPREFIX/system.reg and $WINEPREFIX/user.reg). It is a to-do for some distant feature however when whole WIne will be more stable and more reliable. With, perhaps, support for full winNT security scheme.
