[Wine] New to Wine

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Hi I'm new to wine. I'm running Dapper Ubuntu, I installed Wine from the 
standard repos. But I don't see any menu icons for it. I don't know how to 
start using it. Is there a simple and good guide for installing apps and 
using Wine?

Also is there any way to change the encoding inside the bottle? I have lots of 
Chinese apps but the Chinese doesn't display properly which puts a bit of a 
damper on things....

Regards,
Gabe
