If I run 'update-menus' by hand, the second file that is generated does not contain any mention of X-Debian-Wine. My original bug report was not quite clear, BTW. Menu entries such as the one above actually don't appear in the Debian menu at all! gnome-menus notices this, and allocates them to the Other menu. So maybe this should actually be a bug against gnome-menus... I'm not sure. It seems like it would be better to fix it at the level of menu-xdg so that the additional menu category would be seen by all consumers of the fdo-menu-spec data files. It looks like a bug in gnome-menus or in the GNOME menu editors. The support for the XDG menu draft in GNOME has always been very weak. Can we make use of whatever Ubuntu have done to menu-xdg to make this work? They have a Wine menu under the GNOME applications menu, which seems to correspond with the Windows Programs menu.

The second one however should know about X-Debian-Wine. If it does then gnome-menus is picking the wrong debian-menu.menu file. According to your previous post, the wine entry is as follow: ?package(local.Wine):needs=x11 section=/Wine/. title=Gtk-demo longtitle= command=wine 'Z:homesamsrcsolarwin32bingtk-demo.exe' The Section is strange why call it /Wine/. instead of just Wine ? If I run 'update-menus' by hand, the second file that is generated does As root or as a normal user ? not contain any mention of X-Debian-Wine. It certainly does here: %grep X-Debian-Wine ~/.config/menus/debian-menu.menu CategoryX-Debian-Wine/Category CategoryX-Debian-Wine-./Category By any chance, do you have a ~/.menu-methods directory ? What is its content ? Please try 'update-menus -v' and send me the output. It looks like a bug in gnome-menus or in the GNOME menu editors.
