The service is started up once I open Registry Editor from Terminal window, but once I shut down Registry Editor, the service is also shut down. That's by design. Wine kills all services and drivers when all programs exited. Or at least it should do that. You can not just run a service by itself. It wasn't ever an intention to have some parts of Wine to run unattended. Not yet at least.
