When I install new windows software using Wine, a corresponding launcher is usually created in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs. However, this launcher is missing the Categories attribute and does not appear on my Application menu. Therefore I open up the launcher in a text editor and append:
Code:
Categories=Wine-Programs;
or something similar to the programs that I want to show up in my Applications menu.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Why is the Categories attribute not being created automatically in the launchers that are created by wine? How can I fix this?

If I remember correctly, I believe I used to have a similar problem when using Crossover.

Thanks.
