I have started a wine application and after that the program has been terminated, but in the task list, it shows

winemenubuilder takes up 63 % of CPU
wineserver takes up 33 % of CPU

Why is that so ? ( I have no application running ).

What is the way to terminate wine server, do I just kill it ?

What is the app? Did you close it normally, or did it crash? Are you sure the app itself is really terminated?

Wineserver should terminate when you terminate an app, but if there are other processes still running under Wine, they will keep it open. That happens sometimes when an app crashes, and some apps are meant to keep running in the background (the x button just closes the window, not the app). If those don't apply, then this shouldn't be happening.

The "clean" way to do it is by running wineserver -k.

I have the same problem on wine-1.1.29.
I tried reinstalling wine, but after a week or so, problem appeared again.

Usualy when i run something like notepad, cpu is around 10%, but winemenubuilder makes it ~60%.

Please run notepad with:
Code:
WINEDEBUG=+menubuilder wine notepad

And post output here (if it's too big, you'll need to compress it, upload to some file upload place and give us the link).

I'm guessing you have some menu structure that winemenubuilder chokes on.

Thanks for reply, vitamin

When i run it goes to infinite loop and repeats the line
Code:
trace:menubuilder:cleanup_menus removing menu related file /home/march/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-Programs-?�?????????�???�-??-Armageddon Riders-Armageddon Riders (?�?�?�?????�?????�?? ???�?�????).menu


There are some cyrillic letters in the filename. Could it be because of that?

Yes, winemenubuilder's Unicode handling is not quite right. Please file
a bug.
