------- Additional Comments From mdirk@sympatico.ca 2007-06-08 17:03 ------- After analyzing the KDE directories myself, I have to admit now that your assessment is essentially accurate, in that the bug is with KDE and not with WINE. I'm sorry that I was so difficult before accepting this.
I've also learned that 'kmenuedit' appears to store editing of the main K-Menu into a separate file, in which deleted entries remain deleted and not re-attached by other processes. When I deleted this file yesterday, the WINE application icons re-appeared under the "Lost And Found" sub-menu, which I think is the direct answer to your last question.
But it seems to be a misbehaviour of my KDE version, that applications can't create new sub-menus directly within the Applications root menu, for which reason the exercise of deleting all my K-Menu directories would not succeed at resolving the KDE bug.
On my Laptop in now recall having upgraded my KDE version months ago, but also having lost other, non-WINE menu entries to the Lost And Found menu, for which reason I'm hesitant just to upgrade my KDE version on the server.
Also, since our last messages ended on such a negative note, I can understand that you might not want to offer more interpretations of the fact that the entries are being collected under "Lost And Found." I'm truly sory about that and agree that this bug report should remain closed.
