Alexandre, It seems that this patch: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/08/0158.html broke PuTTY. Before the patch, the dialog would come up, after the patch, it doesn't. You can get putty.exe from this link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe it requires no installation, just do $ wine putty.exe to run it. -- Dimi.
