Checkbox won't help for one very important reason - some users absolutely need
integration, others absolutely abhor it.

I think there can be a much better solution, something similar to what's
already implemented in Crossover Office.

Any changes in regard to associations/new installed shortcuts/etc should be
made temporary in Wine and after the application or installer finished, Wine
should show a window asking the user if he/she wants to commit those changes to
his Unix desktop or not, e.g.


Pending Desktop Integration

Application MyCoolApp.exe has installed new shortcuts or/and made changes to
files associations. Do you want to integrate these changes into your Linux
desktop environment?

Yes | No


In this case there's no need for any checkbox'es in WineCFG, there's no need to
use any hacks (like `export WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d`), you just
approve or disapprove the changes.
