wine installed apps menus problems

[Lafa]

Binary package hint: wine

Install firefix under wine, and the firefox will be displayed on lost & Found section of the menus.

I was expecting the icons to be display on a wine menu with a windows similar structure
just as in edgy.

I'm running kubuntu.

Similar problem here with Kubuntu Dapper, Wine 0.9.35 and Kubuntu Feisty, Wine 0.9.33. Every program that I install with Wine makes launcher to lost & found section.

This bug has also reported to WineHQ Bugzilla.

[Rami Autiomäki (rami-autiomaki)]

I seemed to fix this by modifying /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu.

I added below <DefaultMergeDirs/>
<MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir>

Now Wine menus work like they should. Is there similar line in other distros?
Which is missing in Kubuntu.

I've included this in gutsy, please let me know if it fixes the issue

[Rami Autiomäki (rami-autiomaki)]

Seems to be working in Gutsy even without that line in /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu.

[dumas33 (danas-augutis)]

Yes,
solution proposed by Rami Autiomäki realy works on Kubuntu 7,04

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

This should be fixed with the way Wine now behaves in Gutsy - by adding .desktop entries to ~/.local
