--- Comment #17 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2008-01-27 20:28:53 --- (In reply to comment #15) What desktop environment are you using (gnome/kde/else)? You might want to create small test script to output $PWD into a file and test working directory with it. If there are any problems - report that to your distro.
In other words this isn't a Wine bug.
