I did some more checking into this just now.  I'm not sure why or how,
but when I installed Worms 2, it installed the menu entries properly.
So I uninstalled WinRAR and reinstalled it.  This time it created a
menu entry for WinRAR under the wine folder in the menu, but it isnt a
subfolder, like it should be and the other icons that should be in the
menu aren't there.  It appears that the winrar installer may be doing
something that other installers dont do....

Anyone know of any debug messages I should run to try to narrow down
the problem?
