The wineshelllink (the script responsible for installing the lnk files in the 
desktop menu) in the cvs wine assumes, that if you have a .kde directory in 
your home, then you have kde 1.x installed.
And install kde 2.x files only if you have a .kde2 directory in your home 
folder.
But on some systems (eg. RedHat), the kde config files are in .kde in home 
directory. That is the reason why the .desktop files are not installed on 
some systems.

I have fixed wineshelllink in my cvs copy of wine, but never submitted it, 
because, I'm not really sure how to fix it to work on all the systems (I dont 
know how the other packagers do it).
But if somebody needs, it I'm attaching the patch...
