Running wine on linuxgrid

Running wine on the linuxgrid requires a little setup because of 2 problems:

A: The DISPLAY is not local and most fonts are "invisible". Before actually using it, do:

1. Create a file settings.reg in you HOME directory with the following 3 lines:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
   "ClientSideWithRender"="N"
   "ClientSideWithCore"="N"
2. Run wine regedit settings.reg
   This will take up to one minute and will write out a lot of stuff to the terminal.
3. When it stop writing hit ENTER a few times to see that the command has completed.
4. Optional run winecfg
5. Start an application by running wine myapp.exe

B: In the shell which start wine you must unset the ulimit restrction for stack size, i.e.
ulimit -s unlimited
wine

How to use wine in general terms is beyond the scope of this document; google is your friend.
