Hint for WINE users

The font problem can be worked around by setting the emulated Windows version
in wineconfig to Windows Me, at least for the Qt/KDE-using apps. I think the
Win2k+ font calls are not implemented properly in WINE, as GTK+ >=2.8 (which
requires an NT-based Windows >=2000 due to the font functions used by Cairo)
is also screwed up (at least it was last I checked), whereas 2.6 (which used
Win9x/Me-compatible calls) works. It would also be consistent with faking the
Windows version to Me "fixing" the problem for Qt.
However, a worse issue than the font one is that D-Bus didn't work at all in
WINE last I checked. (And I tried all possible settings for the emulated
Windows version. I think the NT security functions used by D-Bus for
authentication are (were?) simply not implemented in WINE.)
