Wine explorer

The Wine explorer is a "bridge" process that sits around linking the users GNOME/KDE desktop with the Win32 world and vice-versa. It's called "explorer" for no other reason, than this is the name of the shell process in Windows. It handles a number of system wide resources:

• DesktopWindow: supports the standard Windows desktop window

• SysTray: system tray integration

• HAL-DBUS integration for allowing Win32 apps to respond to hardware events

• RegistryIntegration: e.g. if you set the wallpaper in a Windows program like Paintbrush, IE or WebShots Desktop then the native wallpaper should change too

• ColorScheme / ThemingSupport: not yet implemented

• StandardDirectories: map the standard Windows directories to their Unix equivalents
