--- Comment #66 from liquider <liquiderz at gmail.com> ---
xnitropl's patch gives a clue.

The most casual Wine user may WANT their XDG menu populated with launchers to
newly installed software, but NOT WANT their host system's file associations
modified. In this case, the FAQ-solution about disabling winemenubuilder.exe
does not apply.

Instead, how about Wine upstream distribution, for the benefit of all, sets
winemenubuilder.exe Service to run without -a switch by default?

winemenubuilder.exe with -a switch, as documented in the source, updates file
associations. Should one, e.g. a popular distribution maintainer, wish their
winemenubuilder to build freedesktop menus but not snatch mimeapps, the
Services group in the systemwide wine.inf file can be amended to only ever run
"winemenubuilder.exe -r".

Is this correct? Is "winemenubuilder.exe -a" ever run regardless of this
setting (provided a user doen't have a already-tainted $WINEPREFIX/system.reg
file)? If not, the majority of wine users strongly agrees there should be an
option to build menus without changing mime associations.
