> To prevent Wine from creating new entries, disable winemenubuilder. > http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c847a3ded88bac0e61aae0037fa7dbd4c7ae042a When I disable winemenubuilder this way, though, I get a backtrace every time I run something with wine from the terminal. My solution: use a "native" winemenubuilder.exe that does nothing. Code: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Do you want some cheese with your whine?\n"); return 0; } It probably doesn't have to do anything at all, but I want it to do something : ). I built an exe with MinGWin running under wine.
