           Summary: menubuilder is broken
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: Speeddymon at gmail.com


Currently wine and the menubuilder/shelllink is broken in a couple of ways..

1) winecfg defaults to directing the windows desktop to the user's xorg
~/Desktop.  This is bad because then wine puts a .lnk file and a .desktop file
on the user's ~/Desktop when it installs a program..  wine should put all .lnk
files in an out of the way location like ~/.wine/menubuilder/<Menu/Desktop> and
then make the .desktop files from there and put them to the real desktop..

2) There is no Start Menu folder created under wine's windows profile, which
causes at least WinRAR to put menu icons under the program's install directory.
 Wine needs to at least make a Start Menu symlink in
drive_c/windows/profiles/(user)/ that points to the xorg menu location so that
programs can at least find the start menu, and then as above, should redirect
lnk files to the correct location..

I will attach traces here.
