I can't say I've ever seen that. What apps in particular?
Can't remember offhand. I was annoyed enough by it to create the symlink at one point.
Both the standard Qt open file dialog and the Gtk open file dialog work fine with . directories for me, which doesn't leave many apps that could not work.
No, that's not true.. The behaviour of the dialogs depend on the app somehow. AFAIR, I've seen Qt dialogs activate the .wine folder as a selection or cancel the dialog instead of descending into it, and Gtk dialogs completely unable to display hidden folders. But I've also seen that some Qt apps work fine. Sorry I can't provide any more details, it's not like I make a habit of remembering this stuff :-). (... And it still wasn't my main point, either ;-).)
