Description of problem: In Mandriva, if you install a Windows program via Wine, the program will create its shortcuts to a menu named "Programs" and if choosing it can create a shortcut on the desktop. But in Mageia Alpha 1, Wine programs can't create menu and shortcuts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia Alpha 1 64bit, Wine32 1.3.14 How reproducible: Installing a Windows program via Wine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Wine; 2. Install a Windows program; 3. Look the menu, and there are not a new Programs menu and programs' shortcuts. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
I tested installing notetab, and the menu entries were created correctly AFAICS.

(In reply to comment #1) > I tested installing notetab, and the menu entries were created correctly > AFAICS. My computer's Mageia system was a new installation, not an upgrade from Mandriva Linux. And I didn't modify any content of the menu. The folder ~/.local/share/applications has no menu entries.
I use Wine32 in a 64bit Mageia system.
I had tested with a clean installation, updated as of yesterday; same thing here too wine32 on a 64bit installation, and it works... Could you test in a new user account?
Source RPM: Wine32 => wine

I installed Wine32 via a Mageia 32bit packages' mirror, so the dependencies are all 32bit. Is it the cause? I will test in a new user account later. But it is strange. If it works, why my can't my account create menu entries?
I didn't test in a new user account, but solved the problem by removing the folder .wine and the folder .config/menus/applications-merged.

The reason is that there is something wrong with the folder .wine and the folder .config/menus/applications-merged was created with root permissions.
Ideally that shouldn't happen; Did you run an app as root (using su, or sudo or kdesu)? e.g. winecfg? (note that you can get a bigger list of which apps you executed that would cause this by examining the file names in .config/menus/applications-merged ).

I have removed the wrongly created folder .config/menus/applications-merge, so I don't know what it includes. Perhaps the folder .config/menus/applications-merge is wrongly created during the installation of Adobe Reader, because I found that both of .mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so and ./local/share/applications/defaults.list are created with root permissions and they are related to Adobe Reader.

Yeah, you're probably right.
(In reply to comment #11) > This might be another variation of > https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=62245 I think it's a different issue (IMBW, though).
