In accordance with best practices I desire not to run Wine as root, http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ I see plenty of examples for use of setcap for networking, but not so much for file read access.

Essentially, I'm trying to give an application the capability to read all files and subdirectories with at least the following privs: -r-------- 1 root root

I've tried using built in search, but it fails. A file exists with the particular string I'm interested in, but I don't recall its filename or directory located so I intend to use PowerGREP to locate it, but files owned by root are not readily readable via apps spawned in Wine without enhancement by something like setcap.

I had some custom scripts that I had custom launchers for on my desktop on 10.04. I would like to recreate that again after migration to 12.04, but unity seems quite foreign to me.

I'm able to locate stuff with the dash home then drag it down to the launcher bar on the left of the desktop, but what if the application installed via Wine isn't found via the dash search? I've right clicked on the application in the .wine directory and found no options to create a launcher either.

For some applications its fairly easy enough to locate where the application was installed to using the "which" command. However, some applications such as Tomcat are a little out of my league to locate.

I'm asking for particular methodology that can be applied to any apt-get install to locate where the binary, library, and support files are installed to.

The cause of this question is that I installed Tomcat7 and I can's seem to locate it and I have a list of customizations to perform.
