    Wine file association commands no longer work

    I just discovered today that the Wine file association commands aren't working. When I double-click an exe file in Dolphin, nothing happens. When I right-click a txt file and try to open it in Notepad, I get an "Internal Error" message box.

    If I go directly to a terminal and enter "wine file.exe" the program loads just fine. Or when I do "wine notepad file.txt" it loads. So I went to System Settings, went to the File Associations page, and found the exact commands used when those file types are accessed via Wine. Here's the result:

    Code:
    ~/.wine/drive_c/Poacher$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/darthbrandon/.wine" wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile readme.txt 
    getting server_pid from lock 13049
    wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
    err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 1359
    fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
    getting server_pid from lock 13049
    wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
    getting server_pid from lock 13049
    wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
    Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
    ShellExecuteEx failed: Success.
    Code:
    ~/.wine/drive_c/Poacher$ wine start /unix poacher.exe 
    getting server_pid from lock 14196
    wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
    err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 1359
    getting server_pid from lock 14196
    wine: cannot get pid from lock (lock isn't locked)
    Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
    ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error.
    I tried using an alternate WINEPREFIX for the txt file and it gave me the same error, so it's an issue with Wine, not that particular configuration. Any idea what's wrong?

    I don't have the answer, but you could probably get the help you need in the winehq.org forums
