Wine must implement user/group permission policy

Hi,

Using Wine 1.1.29 on Ubuntu 9.04 x32 and x64. 

Currently, once installed, Wine can be used by every user. It would be better if there is a WineUsers group. Only the users who are in this group can see the Wine menu and can execute Windows executable within Wine.

Scenario: UserX is a low privilege user. This user cannot install any software. When UserX uses Firefox to surf the web, if this user download a Window executable, The Firefox dialog box must not show "Open with Wine".

If UserX saves the Win exe on the hard drive. The Nautilus right-click context menu must not show "Open with Wine".

If it is too complex to configure Firefox or the Nautilus context menu to hide "Open with Wine" specific to each user, It is OK for the "Open with Wine" item to be visible. However this must be a dud. Which means if UserX still decides to open the Win exe with Wine, there must be a system error and NOTHING must happen (The Win exe is ignored and NOT excuted).

Is it doable? And I wonder if there was already a request for this feature.

Thanks in advance for any help.
