it will look on usual locations, (like /usr/local/etc/wine.conf,
~/.winerc ...) and will create list-box with some possibilities for you.
also you can choose "other location" than suggested.

maybe...maybe it don't have to care about things like that. if you would
like edit global wine.conf
file, you must have write permission to that file. if you don't have,
you will be noticed.

wow :-)
what's written in bottom pane, for example? isn't it the same as
comments in wine.conf file?
