I agree. I didn't know this standard before and I think you're referring to the specifications at [1].
Yep.
AFAIK (and I didn't read more docs), GNOME2 uses something similar to XDG to create its menu via the 'gnome-vfs-2.0'. Now, I should check how the XDG is integrated into desktop environments and distro (Debian can use it [2]).
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.
Well, I understood ;-) OTOH, the latest CrossOffice 3.0 Demo doesn't create menus on GNOME2.6/Debian unstable :-(
... which nicely demonstrates my point.
Well, it seems that I should read some more docs or maybe I didn't understand your question: does wine automatically start 'winemenubuilder' when you install an application? I mean:
- wine ./setup.exe
- the installation creates Windows Start menus as .lnk
- wine invokes 'winemenubuilder' to create XDG menu entries
Am I correct? If this is the case, I'm sure I'm going to use the current system!
Well, Wine will run wineshelllink, AFAIK, which you can put anything you like in.
