I don't know how Wine handles the open file requests, but I will try explain how
works the approach that I'm using.

I'm associating a mimetype with an application in to 'system.reg' by entering
some registry keys, but insted of use this application as an open command, I'm
using a wrapper script that can do a search for mime/apps associations through
some database.

I have made a poor bash script to do a little part of the proceedings above, if
you have insterest on such thing I will post it here. Is something in the
"WineTools spirit". ;-)

I already tried to find resources on mime/apps associations to integrate Wine
(through winecfg perhaps) with GNOME and KDE, but these projects seems to be
waiting more definitions from the FreeDesktop project.
