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.
Wine's been making .desktop files for some time, however it seems like they're being put in the wrong place. There's supposedly a proper, standard place to put them (or there should be), and perhaps a hack can be put in at the package-maintainer level, but in any case this is a pretty big usability issue at the moment.
I'm pretty confident that someone here knows the answer to how things should be, and I'm also pretty sure it's a fairly simple change to make. Either way, we need to have a discussion about it - what's the next step here?
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
