I cut out the rest of the discussion for the moment as I am short on
time and it's clear we all have a different philosphical POV on how
Wine should behave. I'll leave it up to Alexandre to decide as far as
my patch goes for app bundles. I think Wine users on OS X will
attribute the bad behavior you describe to being part of the pain of
dealing with Windows apps. At least when I was supporting CrossOver on
OS X, most of the apple users I spoke with were more accepting of the
glitches and limitations as opposed to how they would expect normal
Mac software to behave. Maybe times I heard something along the lines
of "it's ok, this is a windows app I am dealing with".

This is xdg-associations winemenubuilder is trying to handle. My patch
disables this behavior on OS X until we properly fix associations.
