           Summary: [integration] Menu entries generated by wine when
                    installing apps are not compatible with Linux Mint
                    menu
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.23
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wine at rodrigosilva.com


The command wine generates for menu entries are like this (example):

env WINEPREFIX="/home/rodrigo/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
/home/sb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/sb/Start\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\
Office/Microsoft\ Office\ Word\ 2007.lnk

For some reason they dont work in Linux Mint's main menu (bad parser in
mintmenu?). While this can be considered Mint's fault, its MUCH easier for wine
to solve this, but just double-quoting the last parameter (the path to .lnk
file) and removing escaping-backslashes from it:

So the abve example would turn into this:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/sb/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
"/home/sb/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/sb/Start Menu/Programs/Microsoft
Office/Microsoft Office Word 2007.lnk"

Its an easy fix that wouldnt break anything for other distros, and would make
Mint work out-of-the-box, So I would be glad to see this "fixed"
