(Get the code!)
If you delete the profile folder then any version of netflix-desktop newer than 0.2.0 (0.3.0+) should create a new profile folder where the auto-update is disabled. Alternatively, you can manually disable the auto-updater:
1) right-click on the Silverlight plugin once you've launched a movie (or anything that uses Silverlight)
2) choose "Silverlight" (the only option)
3) click the "Updates" tab
4) choose "Never check for updates"
5) click "OK"
If you don't have a ~/.wine-browser folder after running netflix-desktop then you're using an old release that placed everything in the folder ~/.netflix-desktop. Updating to the latest version will move the profile to the new location, though if you're having this update problem you would probably want to just delete it.
