Maybe one last reason: if gksudo or kdesudo is not present, winetricks will use
sudo. Fedora doesn't provide gksudo, neither kdesudo. If winetricks is launched
through the menu and need to mount an ISO image, the sudo prompt will be
obviously invisible to the user and then discarded... How will you manage it
then?
Since sudo/gksudo/kdesudo in winetricks is only called with /bin/mount to mount
ISO files, maybe we could avoid to ask any root permission try to mount ISO
images without requiring root rights (using fuse for example, with fuseiso).
