Summary: Wine lacks an option to disable start menu/desktop icon creation Product: Wine Version: 1.1.14 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: from_wine_bugzilla@ssokolow.com
On my system, I have to set up `rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine &>/dev/null` as a cronjob because I frequently add applications to non-default Wine prefixes for testing purposes and then simply delete the prefixes when I'm finished testing.
This works, but prevents me from retaining any icons from my default Wine prefix.
Deleting the Z: link to prevent otherwise trustworthy apps from innocently cluttering up the system at large keeps desktop icons in check, but it still seems like a bit of an ugly hack.
