 |
|
Hi All,
This is confusing me a bit. Recently I noticed that the KDE menu no longer includes wine or any .exe applications. I need to add them manually. I posted bug #184480 but I am being told that this is meant to be so as a security feature - in line with bug #117785. However, I am not sure that the two are related. Can someone please explain this to me?

Well, some of the menu entries will be *.exe binaries, and that is what ties it to bug #117785. Whether that bug make any sense or not is an exercise left for the reader.

Running Windows apps in Linux will be always dangerous.
Anyway i had to run wineboot to get my windows shorcuts in my K menú.

Should I try to install Write.exe? Not sure where I need to place this.
Not sure if it is related, but IEs4Linux will not work either. 
It is as if all the links between KDE and WINE apps are not working.
