[Wine] Open With "A Wine Application": a ridiculous amount of trash
How do I remove all the "A Wine Application" entries (http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/1413/winetrash.png) from gnome's Open With > Add Application dialog? As well, for almost every file type I had when wine started doing this, there's an entry in gnome's right-click menu (http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4291/winejunk.png) to open with "A Wine Application". Often, this is the default. I've gotten most of these removed now, doing one at a time when I noticed them. How do I stop this ridiculousness when I use wine on another account?

I use KDE, so I really can't help you with how to do it in Gnome; ask on your distro's support forum. To prevent Wine from creating new entries, disable winemenubuilder. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c847a3ded88bac0e61aae0037fa7dbd4c7ae042a You might also want to vote for this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19182
