You can use WINEPREFIX to use something visible.... (the FAQ mentions it.. If you run Wine from the Terminal, prefixing WINEPREFIX=~/wine before all commands should result in the visible "wine" directory in your home directory being used....) (There's other ways to use WINEPREFIX more automatically, read up on environment variables under Linux or ask your distibution where you can define them to be defined at login for GUI sessions) It is standard practice to hide "settings" directories in a user's home directory.
