Well, tell this to Alexandre as he removed the '-h' stuff some time ago (we got more cases of people having problem with the 'wine foo.exe -- -a -b' syntax than with the '-h' problem). As for the 'Start Menu', it's a packaging issue, not really a Wine issue per se. And finally, why should we prevent people from running Wine as root ? I played the complete MI3 game as root (to have DGA support) and it worked just fine :-) I still have problem with this whole discussion(s): people who do not know Linux should never use a command line window and should do everything from the start / run / foot / ... menu from their favourite distribution. If someone starts Wine from the command line, I certainly expects him/her to be at least knowledgeable enough in how Linux works. So effort should be spent on Desktop integration instead of futile stuff like adding '-h' help message or a 'running as root' protection. > Make of it what you like, I'm tired of pissing into the wind.
