I have no idea about the inner workings of wine. I've only been using linux
for about a month.

Acting on information I found online, I copied the entire WoW folder tree
from my Windows setup to the proper place in my linux .wine drive_c folder.
The game works perfectly, except for the fact that I have no addons. All
files and folders in the copied tree have rwx permissions. 

It's a total mystery to me.
