After trying to fix a problem with a Windows program processing icon by uninstalling an older version of Wine and installing the latest from the repository I am using, Wine 1.3.24, I miss the Wine entry in the start menu. I have tried to set one up manually with the menu editor but I have not been able to get it working. How can this be resolved? Regards, Magnus
You should probably ask the person who packages Wine for your specific distro. What you should be wondering, though, is if you actually need it. Wine can run easily through the file manager and terminal, and applications themselves tend to make shortcuts in a Wine submenu (unless this is exactly the "entry" you meant?).
Thanks for your reply, DaVince. The Wine packages I have installed earlier have inserted Wine and most Windows programs I later have installed into the start menu. I am using Mepis Linux 11.0. Yes, I know I can start my Windows programs using Dolphin and opening /home/Magnus/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Program Folder/Program.exe, but that takes a lot more keystrokes than having the Windows programs in the start menu under the entry Wine.
