Ok, that's bad wording on my part. Call them 'registry operations'.

Good point. Disregard the program installation stuff then.

However I still believe that the registry operations do have a legitimate place
in winecfg. Using your argument: the ability to use ClearType is a setting in
Windows - shouldn't 'fontsmooth-*' be a setting in winecfg?

(Sorry about the insistence, I just want to make sure I get my points across.)

> The best solution is for package maintainers to bundle a recent winetricks.

Thanks, I'll try to open a request at that level instead.
