Yep, I saw ;-)

Ok, now the first step: Wine application can't be divided into single
categories, as you can't know from the application what does. I mean,
when you launch 'wine ./setup.exe' you can't know if this 'setup.exe' is
for an image editor or a wordprocessor and so on. So, we need to choose
for a general category which will be applied to all 'Wine' applications.
- From the given categories [1], IMHO the only suitable could be:
	--- Emulator ---
	Emulator of another platform, such as a DOS emulator

But, setting 'Adobe Photoshop 7.0' menu entry as an 'Emulator', it seems
so strange at my eyes. So, IMHO, the best solution will be a totally new
categories (called 'win32' or whatever we choose) in order to identify
'Wine' applications.

Before writing to the XDG mailing-list in order to have their opinion,
I'd like to know the WINE developers one, please.

Wait, I didn't understand: ATM (so in the latest CVS) 'wine' doesn't
call 'winemenubuilder'. right? But it could be implemented if
'winemenubuilder' (which includes 'wineshelllink') works...

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
