Total Commander under Wine

How to have a lot of fun with your favourite tool in linux / under wine?!

1. have the systems keyboard shortcuts disabled
   in ubuntu v7.0.4, i had to disable for example ALT+F1, ALT+F2, ALT+F5 and ALT+F6
   those are essential to my life with total commander
   the last one was a bit tricky, cause its not to be switched off in the easy to reach tools of gnome
   i had to start gconf-editor via shell and search for '<Alt>F6' to get rid of that :-)
   
2. have a decent wine version installed
   i just tested tc v7.0.1 under wine v0.9.45
   i haven't found any serious flaws
   
3. have msttcorefonts installed
   you will have much more fun on comparing two files by content if you have this package installed, trust me! ;)
   on a debian based system try: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
   
4. have filetypes associated and a fitting wrapper installed
   integration of total commander in the linux system will be much better, if you can start all those files right away
   
   1. there is a nice PERL tool for this purpose: wine_wrapper
      this will adjust the file associations, so you can start files out of your wine with the according native linux apps
      ( you might also want to have a look at this for a different tool in php )
   2. there is also another way to get the same behavior (IMHO a better way): http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/222
