This still shows up using Wine 1.1.10 and Gnome 2.22.3.  The problem is
mitigated now by wine placing each shortcut in its own .menu file, but the menu
with the & is still not showing up until I manually change it.

In this case, the menu file is
"~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-Programs-Dynamix-Tribes2-Tribes2 Solo
& Lan.menu", which is attempting to load "wine-Programs-Dynamix-Tribes2-Tribes
2 Solo & Lan.desktop".  Since this is an xml file, Gnome is trying to interpret
the "&" as an escape sequence, and it fails to parse.  Replacing "&" with
"&" causes Gnome to display the shortcut properly. 

I don't know if this is an error in Wine or Gnome, but it seems like it should
be a relatively easy fix (once directed to the appropriate people).
