OK people,

As I understand (from the explanation by Russell Howe (thanx:-))), there is a script called wineshelllink that is supposed to install the created start menu items in your KDE menu.

First of all: this script does not seem to do anything on my installation (Slackware 9). Are there known problems with this script?

Second: from looking at the script it seems that this menu is not synchronized with the actual contents of your start menu, which would seem more fancy to me. Because Windows users will be aquainted with the fact that the Start menu directory actually contains the contents of the start menu.

What I would propose is a system in which the contents of the wine menu would be in continuous synchronization with your start menu. That would mean:

• Less error prone coding (no need for extra scripts etc)
• More forward functionality (moving in the folder will actually result in moving in the menu as well)
• Better support for applications (links that are not written through api calls will actually show up as well)
• Ability to copy links between Windows installation and Wine installation

Wouldn't you agree such a system would be better?

Grtz,

Robert
