In Windows, does MagicISO add itself to the menu? I think (I could be wrong) that winemenubuilder reads what the app would insert into the Windows menu and translates that into a Gnome or KDE menu entry, but if the app doesn't add a menu entry for itself in Windows, Wine couldn't do it either.<br>
<br>
Have you tried installing any other programs in Wine to see if they get added to the Gnome menu?<br>
<br>
The one other thing I can think of is, have you manually added any entries directly under Wine in the menu hierarchy (rather than using the convoluted array of submenus it like to create)? I found that in KDE doing that has prevented Wine from ever adding another entry to my menu. (Which is fine with me; I never wanted all that crap in my menus anyway.)<br>

Running Wine 1.0 from Ove.<br><br><br>First: Alacarte is severly non-functional in several areas, trying to modify entries is very difficult to impossible. This is Gnome's fault. Don't bother to try.<br>
<br>Second: Gnome menus are standard complient, Alacarte is the problem.<br><br>Third: Wine menu entries will sometimes add by doing the following.<br>1) Start a root terminal and type "update-menus"<br>2) Do the same from a normal terminal logged in to the user that runs Wine.<br>
3) As crazy as it sounds - reboot.<br>4) Recognise that this may not work for some entries, there may be no current fix.<br><br>Forth: BSD is supposed to have a workable menu editor for Gnome, but I don't know if there is an Etch port. If you look, find one, and it works, please let us know.<br>
