I haven't tried it, but this looks like it may contain a solution/workaround: |

|

KDE 4 Menu Fix[1] |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
The Wine menu items may appear in "Lost & Found" instead of the Wine |
| 31 |
menu for KDE 4. This is because kde-applications.menu is missing the |
| 32 |
MergeDir option. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Edit /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
At the end of the file add <MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir> |
| 37 |
after <DefaultMergeDirs/>, it should look like this: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
<Include> |
| 40 |
<And> |
| 41 |
<Category>KDE</Category> |
| 42 |
<Category>Core</Category> |
| 43 |
</And> |
| 44 |
</Include> |
| 45 |
<DefaultMergeDirs/> |
| 46 |
<MergeDir>applications-merged</MergeDir> |
| 47 |
<MergeFile>applications-kmenuedit.menu</MergeFile> |
| 48 |
</Menu> |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Alternatively you can create a symlink to a folder that KDE does see: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
ln -s ~/.config/menus/applications-merged |
| 53 |
~/.config/menus/kde-applications-merged |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
This has the added bonus that an update to KDE won't change it, but is |
| 56 |
per user instead of system wide. |
