Installing programs don't create a "Programs" Menu

[Aimevous]

Hi,

I just installed the latest version of wine (1.1.10), running on Linux Mint 6.

I've also just installed Microsoft Office 2007 (if you guys want to know how, I'll post a link to the relevant tutorial later). However, I realised that no menu entries are created under the Wine menu in the Main Menu.

Under the Wine menu, there's only the default 4 options:

• Browse C:\
• Configure Wine
• Notepad
• Uninstall Wine software
  
  I don't wish to manually create it but I'm not sure what happened. Wine is a fresh install.
  
  Any advice?
  
  Thanks and best regards.

Try wine-1.1.11. There were few bugs fixed in that area.

hi,

thanks for the heads-up on the new version. However, after upgrading wine to 1.1.11, the programs menu still isn't there. I can't seem to take a screenshot of the menu though, Print Screen nor the Compiz fusion's <Super>Button1 doesn't work on the Menu.

I just found this thread:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-pa ... 66132.html

But I don't quite know how to use it. The attachment seems to be incomplete too?

The following is my applications.menu file:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE Menu
  PUBLIC '-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN'
  'http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd'>
<Menu>
	<Name>Applications</Name>
	<MergeFile type="parent">/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu</MergeFile>
	<Menu>
		<Name>Office</Name>
		<Include>
			<Filename>alacarte-made.desktop</Filename>
		</Include>
	</Menu>
	<Menu>
		<Name>wine-wine</Name>
		<Menu>
			<Name>wine-Programs</Name>
			<DirectoryDir>/home/dingyan/.local/share/desktop-directories</DirectoryDir>
		</Menu>
	</Menu>
</Menu>

Anything wrong?

Thanks!

Are there are any files under /home/dingyan/.local/share/desktop-directories ?

yep, I see all the windows programs I installed via wine there...

they are non-clickable though.




The multiple "Programs" entries might be because I reinstalled wine a couple of times...
