[Bug 17079] New: Applications in Wine fail to launch default browser

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17079

Summary: Applications in Wine fail to launch default browser
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.13
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://www.invelos.com/Downloads.aspx
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

This bug is raised in relation to DVD Profiler
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1975), though
I'm sure that it must affect many others.

Short version - application in Wine fails to launch web browser.

Some of the features of DVD Profiler trigger information being loading in the
user's default web browser. Under Wine, performing one of these triggers
renders no result whatsoever (no browser opening, no window opening in open
browser (run on Linux), no window opening in wine-installed browser). There is
also no error message etc.

Prime example of this is going to the menu 'Online, Invelos Website, Invelos
Main Site...'.

I tried it and did get an error message in the console:

err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unable to retrieve URL from string L"""
err:winebrowser:wmain Usage: winebrowser URL

This is with DVD Profiler 3.5.1, Wine 1.1.13, no overrides. My other Wine apps
launch my default browser (Firefox) with no problem.

That's bug 13891.

Can verify that the workaround described in bug 13891 work here, so it is
almost certainly a duplicate.
