Wine menu creation questions

[Reece Dunn]

Hi,

I have noticed that when wine creates a menu item (that for example,
on Ubuntu gets put in the Applications > Wine > Programs menu), the
command that gets written uses 'wine' as the program to run. This
means that you need to have Wine in your PATH and cannot use more than
one version of Wine. For example, if I wanted to use /opt/wine-1.0,
/opt/crossover and /opt/wine for different applications I cannot
access these correctly from the menu items created. Additionally, the
user experience (yes, I have been watching Owen's Google talk :)) is
that the application does not start (especially if the only version of
Wine is not on the PATH).

The solution to this is to add the full path to wine, e.g.
'/opt/wine-1.0/bin/wine' when generating the menus. Are there any
objections to this?

Along similar lines, building on what Owen said in the talk that if
all goes well Jane user will not notice that she is using Wine to run
her Windows software: why is there an entry in the Applications
section that says 'Wine' (and why does it have the folder icon and not
the Wine icon)! It would be better if this said something like
"Program Files", replacing Wine > Programs -- this removes a level of
indirection and gives the user something that they are familiar with
and is more discoverable than 'Wine'.

Thoughts?
