wine users - Aug 2009 - 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?

You'll have to manually edit the menus to remove entries that are already
there. 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.
