Too late - I rebuilt! :) (Easy with Ubuntu)

OK, need to get it right this time! Would you mind holding my hand through the steps?

1) I need XP compatibility
2) I need to actually install ConvertXtoDVD from scratch (I don't have a Windows partition with installed apps on it) I'm not sure of the 'correct' way of doing this as it seems you'll get ten different answers from 10 different people!
3) I want to have ConvertX available where it should be on the Wine | Applications menu if at all possible.

Thanks for helping me out!
