Wine not saving settings upon exiting.

[Mugsy]

I have successfully installed Wine 1.1.42 under 64bit Ubuntu 10.04.

When I try to configure it, if I try to "Add application" under the "Applications" tab, click Apply and OK, when I return, the list is empty.

If I add a drive under the "Drives" tab, it forgets my changes with each reboot, even after I mount the drive b4 opening Wine. Quite annoying.

Is there a fix to these annoyances? Thx.

The drive mapping problem is a known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14730

For adding applications, I never noticed this before, but it appears that you have to customize at least one setting for the app for Wine to remember it. I don't know if that should be considered a bug or not; there's really no point in adding apps in the first place if you don't need to customize their settings in winecfg.

Please try again with Wine 1.2. The current release may become the
final release.

Please go to the WoW Applications Database page BEFORE doing this,
however as there are cautions and workarounds if you are using the
latest kernel (2.6.33/34.)
