Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  Intrepid and Jaunty both have a very frustrating bug for Wine users -
  double clicking a Windows executable causes it to open in File Roller
  and generate a very cryptic "Null" error report.

  In /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop, file-roller associates
  itself with "application/x-ms-dos-executable", which is what causes
  this behavior.
