How would it solve that?
If you mean we should attempt to start the program directly using the command-line from Linux instead of ShellExecute, I think this is a very bad idea. We would suddenly have to worry about setting the working directory correctly, replacing %1 and anything similar, not to mention handling those actions that use some other method. We'd pretty much have to rewrite ShellExecute on the Linux side.
That is a good point, especially when you consider things like DDE. If I remember my Windows registry correctly though this would mean only one Win32 application/MIME-type (at least per wine prefix I guess). I guess that means we would have to go through start or some kind of start-like approach. So any info about the non-open verbs being supported on the Linux side of things?
