Multi-User in Mac OS X?

Is there a way to run this bottle in a multi-user environment on the same machine? I have it installed originally using CO:Games but when another user tries to run the application, it just loads for 2-3 seconds and then quits.

I looked up the FAQ's and saw there was a multi-user option in Pro, but when I installed it using CO:Pro (with the same installed applications as CO:Games, since the install via Tie method keeps bringing up CO:Games instead of CO:Pro), the main menu screen is completely brown and stays there for maybe 5 seconds (with background music) until the bottle crashes.

I've tried using symbolic links after moving the user specific bottle from Application Support to the /Application folder but the game wouldn't launch at all after this.

Also I'm not sure what's causing it but it runs fine as the original user but when I quit the game, there's an error message waiting for me saying there was an error and the application needs to be closed.

OS: Mac OS X 10.6.6
CO:Games & CO:Pro (newest version)

Thanks

edit: just saw this forum post regarding a more generic idea: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=25;forumcurPos=50;msg=71620

Looks like this might be a limitation of the actual application than CrossOver since the preference in ~/Library/Preferences all reference the specific user rather than a generic location.
