--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Please add support for cautious-launcher from Ubuntu.
Some applications like Wine or Java may run executable files which have not the
executable bit in their permissions, this patch adds cautious-launcher: a
handler for these kind of applications.
Future wine uploads might require this new feature to handle the .exe files
execution.
I have the patch with this work done by me, it is a quilt patch.
