--- Comment #11 from Damjan Jovanovic damjan.jov@gmail.com 2009-07-30 11:37:35 --- Menus don't come from ~/.local/share/desktop-directories. Files under ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-*.menu link in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/* and .desktop files from ~/.local/share/applications/wine/*. Check all those exist.
Also post the value of your ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME} environment variable, if any.
If all of those seem ok, please find some app you know install these broken menus, and post the output of: WINEDEBUG="+menubuilder" wine <installer.exe>
What's the locale set to?
What desktop environment is this?
