Current Gnome implements an older version of the spec. They are moving to the latest version. The older version really did not work too well for Wines needs - in fact, this is one of the reasons the new version was developed. You'll see fgouget@codeweavers.com on the credits for the spec.
Yep, I saw ;-)
Ok, now the first step: Wine application can't be divided into single categories, as you can't know from the application what does. I mean, when you launch 'wine ./setup.exe' you can't know if this 'setup.exe' is for an image editor or a wordprocessor and so on. So, we need to choose for a general category which will be applied to all 'Wine' applications. - From the given categories [1], IMHO the only suitable could be: --- Emulator --- Emulator of another platform, such as a DOS emulator
But, setting 'Adobe Photoshop 7.0' menu entry as an 'Emulator', it seems so strange at my eyes. So, IMHO, the best solution will be a totally new categories (called 'win32' or whatever we choose) in order to identify 'Wine' applications.
Before writing to the XDG mailing-list in order to have their opinion, I'd like to know the WINE developers one, please.
Well, Wine will run wineshelllink, AFAIK, which you can put anything you like in.
Wait, I didn't understand: ATM (so in the latest CVS) 'wine' doesn't call 'winemenubuilder'. right? But it could be implemented if 'winemenubuilder' (which includes 'wineshelllink') works...
Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
