As of right now, I'd estimate that over half of our users are using Wine
from a terminal window to launch their applications, largely because
their window manager doesn't put Wine's Start Menu entries into their
applications menu.
Not only are they doing this because of a lack of shortcuts being created, but also because 95% of the time (ion my experience anyways), even when binfmt_misc is enabled, wine doesn't add it's entry to the proper place to make .exe files run in wine, so when i double click on one, it does nothing. Matter of fact, out of all of the times I have installed wine, under various distro's, I think it has done this properly only ONCE.
Fixing that would make me happy, as I can create the .desktop files myself.
