           Summary: doubleclick on .exe starts all programs in wrong
                    directory
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kazmirzak at web.de


It might be a problem of some distributions they are not able to cope with but
still: if I doubleclick an .exe file for example in Ubuntu 8.04 dolphin, they
don't find their daughter files and crash. This problem is NOT LIMITED to
Ubuntu. Reason: the default directory is "/home/user" and not the directory we
are in.

I know that you can't solve the problems of distributions but you can introduce
an idiot-save and absolute usable workaround:


wine --grab-default-directory /media/disk/test/test.exe


This command line could be included in the application runner of the
distribution, but not only that - it is even great for command-line-gurus. It
simply tells wine to automatically cd to the directory of the .exe-file before
starting it.

Possible for 1.0 ?
