Hi Clinton,

I came across your discussion with the GNOME folks when looking for a solution to do the same operation myself.

Unfortunately I don't think the script you were given would have worked, all the ideas were there, it just needed some tweaking.

I've attached my version here in case you still need it and in case it's useful to WINE as e.g. the base for a utility script that could be shipped for users wanting the same functionality.

Cheers
