I love it when my monitor looks like this:

Man, am I pissed off! I spend a couple of hours trying to compile the source code from Transgaming Wine so I can run a greater selection of Windows programs under Linux. I compile it, it wants this header. I compile it, it wants that header. I install a whole load of C libraries I will never want for anything else, and eventually it compiles and installs. Whoopeedoo. Now I try to run a Windows game with it and it chokes while trying to read my keyboard. So I've got a weird Turkish keyboard - what the hell does it matter? No previous version of Wine has hung on this - they just say words to the effect of "Well, this is a pretty weird keyboard, why don't you send us the layout" and carry on.

And another thing - why do all versions of Wine insist on tut-tutting my TTF fonts every time they load. OK, so it might be a weird font that you can't make sense of. So remember that the next time and don't make me wait while you reinvent the wheel.
