That is a good point, especially when you consider things like DDE. If I remember my Windows
registry correctly though this would mean only one Win32 application/MIME-type (at least per
wine prefix I guess). I guess that means we would have to go through start or some kind of start-like
approach. So any info about the non-open verbs being supported on the Linux side of things?
