Debugging GCK2.5 under wine

GCK2.5.9 works with wine (crossover office 2.01 version). The 2.5.9 update doesn't show the "Could not start the application because there is not enough memory" error. GCK starts up without any trouble and is partially usable. In fact it seems to be fully functional (including Deluxe import) with one big exception: new files cannot be created (quits upon selecting "File - New". The empty window box where you can select what type of GCK file you want to create (sequence, illustration, etc) is drawn with the title "New Window", but its not filled with content and the application quits.

Location of launchers, panels, etc. in Gnome

The files that specify the different folders and buttons of the Gnome user interface are somehow really badly distributed all over the place. Here are just a few of the more common locations:

Icons in the panel: ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers/
Contents of Start Here: ~/.gnome2/vfolders/start-here/
user's Home, Trash and Start Here: ~/.gnome-desktop/
