First: Alacarte is severly non-functional in several areas, trying to modify entries is very difficult to impossible. This is Gnome's fault. Don't bother to try. Second: Gnome menus are standard complient, Alacarte is the problem. Third: Wine menu entries will sometimes add by doing the following. 1) Start a root terminal and type "update-menus" 2) Do the same from a normal terminal logged in to the user that runs Wine. 3) As crazy as it sounds - reboot. 4) Recognise that this may not work for some entries, there may be no current fix. Forth: BSD is supposed to have a workable menu editor for Gnome, but I don't know if there is an Etch port. If you look, find one, and it works, please let us know.
