Yes I did try wineboot, but like I said, it isnt a problem with creating the shortcuts so much as it is with putting them in the proper folder. And it seems to only happen when there is no wine-created wine folder in the menu, and only with certain installers.. I'm not totally sure but I will try several runs with a clean .wine and clean menu with +menubuilder and see what I can come up with. Will report back later with bug # and a better idea of whats going on.

On my machine, wine puts WinRar.desktop in ~/.local/shared/applications/wine/Programs/WinRar, which then appears in my KDE menu. Are you saying the .desktop files went into ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WinRar instead?
Yes, except that my Drive C is mapped to /mnt/d but that shouldnt make any difference. Note that this happens with the 2.6.20.2 kernel from kernel.org, which the 2.6 kernel is now required in order to run wine on Slackware 11..
Now that I think about it, I cant get wine to run on the Slack 11 2.4 kernel because of missing kernel support for something, so I had to get the 2.6 kernel from kernel.org..
When I originally installed this box, the current 2.6 was 2.6.20.1 and wine installed WinRAR to the menu and the desktop properly. Then I broke my install and had to to a clean reinstall of Slack, and so when I went back to kernel.org, the kernel was 2.6.20.2, so I downloaded it and compiled and installed.. After that I installed wine, and the menu shortcuts were put in the wrong folder. Perhaps I either missed a config option in the kernel that is affecting this, or something that was changed in 2.6 actually breaks wine's menu creation?
Like I said, the wine version didn't change between the reinstalls because I can't use git....

I did some more checking into this just now. I'm not sure why or how, but when I installed Worms 2, it installed the menu entries properly. So I uninstalled WinRAR and reinstalled it. This time it created a menu entry for WinRAR under the wine folder in the menu, but it isnt a subfolder, like it should be and the other icons that should be in the menu aren't there. It appears that the winrar installer may be doing something that other installers dont do....
After install is finished you did run 'wineboot' right? As most installers create icons _first_ before anything else is installed.
Anyone know of any debug messages I should run to try to narrow down the problem?
menubuilder would be helpfull. With the bug # where you should send all this information of course.
