This bug affects ALL applications installed through wine (ie by running a setup.exe)

Wine creates desktop files like this:

~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Spotify.desktop

These show up in the gnome menu, but if you try to edit them using the menu editor, it resaves them as:

~/.local/share/applications/wine-Programs-Spotify.desktop

But the gnome menu still gives priority to the original file, thus the changes do not actually affect the menu.

Whether this is a bug in the menu editor or wine is debatable. It all depends on whether subdirectories of the applications directory are supports or not.
