When trying to use the latest Debian package I noted that there are no MIME bindings available for GNOME and that applications installed with wine are not visible in the application menu. In my opinion the first issue is really easily solvable, just three more files need to be included in the package and copied into /usr/share/mime-info and /usr/share/application-registry - is the official source the right place or should package maintainers include this? The second is a bit more tricky. I propose that as a 1.0 target wine should implement the freedesktop.org menu spec [1], which is definitly the future. We should contact the freedesktop guys and tell them that we want a registered category "WINE" :).
