I'm talking about Winefix (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533257), that (from the link) solves:<BR/><BR/>#1 - Applications breaking when not run from their base directory.<BR/>#2 - Wine's finicky handling of links (symlinks) to executables.<BR/>#3 - Desktop panels overlapping the screen of fullscreen applications when Wine is used with Compiz or Beryl, and other weirdness. => when the executable is run, it starts another windows manager (metacity, etc) and when the exec is closed, it opens compiz again<BR/>#4 - Choppy performance, or stuttering sound.<BR/>#5 - Applications changing the desktop resolution - and not changing it back. <BR/>#6 - The mysterious .lnk shortcuts and .msi extensions<BR/>#7 - If a program crashes, and wasn't executed from a terminal, no indication is given as to why.<BR/>#8 - AppDB integration!<BR/><BR/>I find that POL can use most if not all of these things to further increase performance of apps in WINE... I use both POL and Winefix under Ubuntu but, can these things be better integrated somehow?Phoboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684385645537481129noreply@blogger.com
