Missing Wine menu in KDE

[constchar*]

I installed KDE ontop of Ubuntu and I've been using it insted of Gnome for some time
and a few weeks ago I got into a bad mood with somebody and deleted my Wine
menu to prove a point and now I want it back and I can't figure out how lol.

So to the point; how do I get back the "Wine" menu in my K Menu?

Thanks!

Use the kdemenu editor and browse to each of the progrms you want to add to the menu. Be sure to save you settings before closing

You can also try running kappfinder and see if it finds them.

I already know about the menu editor but before Wine would automatically
create the menu items during an installation and now it doesn't do that anymore
and the Wine menu is gone altogether as I mentioned earlier, perhaps for that reason.

i don't know about kde (using gnome) but in gnome when you manually delete a menu item like wine it writes an entry to /home/<user name>/.config/menus/applications.menu

<Name>wine-wine</Name>
		<DirectoryDir>/home/doug/.local/share/desktop-directories</DirectoryDir>
		<Deleted/>

remove the <Deleted/>
maybe kde does the same thing

for 7.04 only
try revert in gutsy

Thanks, I tried your suggestion and it I was able to get my Wine menu back with KDE, even on Gutsy Gibbon.

THANK YOU!!!
This problem was driving me crazy.
Your solution worked great on KDE 7.10gg

EDIT: This is for GNOME. Not tested on KDE

This is swell and all, But what you're really looking for is not to have the Alacarte menu undeleted. It seems doing this doesn't re-associate the menu system with the new configuration of wine and therefore when you install anther wine app it doesn't show up (at least for me) in the menu. To remove everything you must remove the files and folders associated with wine in both:

~/.local/share/applications/
~/.local/share/desktop-directories/

and removing the wine xml menu data from the previously mentioned file:

~/.config/menus/applications.menu

Do this all after a :

sudo apt-get remove --purge wine
rm ~/.wine -R (or be leet and do " yes | rm ~/.wine -R " to be rid of all the questions)

This should remove everything you care about so far as wine is concerned. Don't fret -- all is reconfigured (menus, .wine dir, cfg, etc...) when you:

sudo apt-get install wine
winecfg

Tested under Gusty

Enjoy!

This sounds like it destroys everything I've ever installed/done in wine, and I'll have to install everything installed with wine again, not something I want to do.
