I'm not sure that I actually considered that, as I personally tend to
disable the winemenubuilder completely.  That is, I don't want anything
to be added for manually installed things either.

The intent is to flip the default state of the particular setting.

In my case it is an improvement.  :]

Of course we're all different, and I would not be surprised if the
majority differs, and if this ends up being a bit too much for a
default.

Thank you for your feedback!
