Re: Wine

Sometimes, no always, you may find a wine entry in your main menu (after a logout, or saving a menu edit). Sometimes I find them in the Lost and Found if you see that menu. Often, there isn't any menu entry at all, so you have to go to your ~/.wine/drive_c folder, which basically emulates a windows directory structure. Even then, simply clicking on the exe sometimes does not work, and you may need to run it via a konsole
ie:
wine "c:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"
You can make youir own menu entries if needed, using similar commands
If you google for wine and your app in question, you also may find some useful command switches that may help run that app better or successfully

Re: Wine

Lately wine has been changed the way that it won't create menu entries in Kubuntu. I fixed this temporarily by modifying /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu.

I added below <DefaultMergeDirs/>
<MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir>

I don't know if this should be default in Kubuntu so that wine menus would work.
