i have just done something really stupid!
while messing around with the config settings after having problems emulating steam i saw a bar titled resolution i think
i set it to the largest value
now every time i run wine config it is such a big window i cannot move it down to correct the error
do i have to reinstall or is there a config file i can edit from the command line?

thanks

You can edit system.reg directly. To get back to the default, look
for the section
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]
and change LogPixels to 60, e.g.
LogPixels"=dword:00000060

We should have a commandline interface to winecfg, though.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. Use any text
editor (not word processor) on ~/.wine/system.reg.
For instance:

$ cd $HOME/.wine
$ gedit system.reg

Open a xterm, then execute
cd ~/.wine
ls
