Hi,

Would it be a good idea for Wine to run the associated default program
(xdg-open) when under Wine-Windows there exists no file association for a PDF
file (for example)? Instead of getting an error the document would be openend. 

Right now if I double click on a PDF file from WineFile.exe then I am getting
the message "Success" but nothing happens.

For me it sounds logical, but I admit that this missing feature isn't really a
bug, but a improvement for a better integration between Wine-Windows and Linux.

Andrea
