Don't bother with RedHat if you want KDE -- use Mandrake

Well you could make an alias in .bashrc to make it where everytime you typed winex it would also delete the socket but if you use KDE there's a better way.  First, find out where the socket is.  If you use winex its under ~/.transgaming (a hidden file in your home directory)  

It will be in a directory called wineserver-(your host name), which has a file called "socket" inside of it.  This is what you need to delete.  The command do do this is:

rm -Rf ~/.transgaming/wineserver-(hostname)

What we want is to run that command before we start any wine programs.  Here's how we'll do that.  Find a .exe file in konqueror and right click on it, and click "edit file type."  Nothing should be under "application preference order"  so click the add button.  In the box type

rm -Rf ~/.transgaming/wineserver-(hostname); winex %s

mind the semicolon and the %s

Then whenever you click on a exe file in konq it will launch wine after deleting the socket.
