text files opening automatically with wine is really a VERY annoying thing...
This is pretty clearly a DE issue. Are you all using the same DE or is this common behavior in all popular DEs? I rarely have any of those issues since I usually call my programs by name and ROX uses manual file association. Only firefox is sometimes hard to convince, but it uses gconf or some other DE stuff underneath. It's somewhat nice to see that DE users also have problems with that kind of stuff. Maybe this stuff can be changed using regedit or however that great program to change gconf settings is called. I'm sorry, somehow this ended up as another DE flame instead of being helpful. Oh well... So how is this stuff controlled these days? Those funky desktop files? gconf? dconf? Something else entirely?
