I have some applications installed. The most of them doesn't work but some of them work... What do you mean by "What is your locale/keyboard layout" ? My keyboard is an "AZERTY" type. I have SCIM-Anthy installed in order to write in japanese...but generally I use a french or french/european keyboard.. PS1: Thank you for the english course ;) PS2: Do I really have to type "$ rm -rf ~/.wine" in the console ? (this will remove the installed applications, will it ? Is it necessary ?
