Chris if you think that autostart is such a great idea - you are very welcome to start sending patches in. And if they are reasonable enough they might get in. But if you want to rant about that Linux doesn't have some absolutely required "feature" that windows has - this not the right place.
This sounds like you missed my point. My argument isn't that autorun is cool and Linux should have it (when in fact KDE *does* have it, to some degree), my argument is that Windows has it and it's not inherently detramental (since the user would be instructed to manually do what autorun does automatically anyway, and hence have the same effects), so Wine, if it is trying to match Windows feature-for-feature and bug-for-bug, should have it too. IMO, of course.
If I knew how dbus and hal worked, I would probbly try to make the necesarry patches. But as I'm not familiar with Win32 or Wine's internals, I'm not really qualified to work on it, at this time. I'm just a user voicing my opinion.
