Summary: Clean up: ~/.config/menus/applications-merged after uninstalling Product: Wine Version: 1.1.16 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sbastig@gmx.net
##This probably applies to the dll/appwiz or programs/uninstaller part of wine##
Wine should clean up the directory:
~/.config/menus/applications-merged
after uninstalling applications. In recent versions of wine the uninstaller has significantly improved already as applications now vanish from the uninstaller (they tended to stay there too). But entries still remain in the directory above in from of *.menu files. Deleting these files is save if the application in question was already uninstalled from wine. Gnome does not seem to be responsible to clean up this directory, so I suggest wine should do it.
Regards
P.S. this regards gnome, im not sure how other environments like kde etc. handle this.

--- Comment #3 from Damjan Jovanovic damjan.jov@gmail.com 2010-04-12 07:17:55 --- Wine most definitely deletes .menu files in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged
Look in Wine's registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wine\MenuFiles - your .menu files should be listed there, and when you uninstall, and restart Wine (either by logging out and back in from your desktop, or running "wineserver -k", or stopping all Wine applications and waiting at least 3 seconds for wineserver to die), and then start another Wine application, it should be gone from both the registry and the filesystem.
If it's not gone, please post the contents of that registry key and the ~/.config/menus/applications-merged directory.
Note that messing with the registry or the WINEPREFIX it's stored in (eg. deleting ~/.wine) will disassociate the menus from Wine. Also unicode characters might be a problem. Wine currently doesn't track and delete icons under ~/.local/share/icons, or directory files under ~/.local/share/desktop-directories, but those shouldn't be directly visible to users.

--- Comment #4 from Ilya Chernykh neptunia@mail.ru 2010-04-12 07:21:05 --- You can install Schtirlitz yourself and see that the menu entries are not deleted after uninstall.
Schtirlitz is a freeware automatic encoding recognition utility used to recover files. Upon uninstall Schtirlitz menu entry still not removed.
Schtirlitz can be found here:

--- Comment #6 from Damjan Jovanovic damjan.jov@gmail.com 2012-02-24 08:10:50 CST --- That link is not an installer, it's a ZIP file of the complete application that just runs when unzipped.
How do I create the menu entries? It's all in a strange language with garbled fonts.
