Agreed that we drop this for Maverick and focus on it for Natty. We should document a manual workaround for folks to provide the needed category for Wine apps manually, if they really need it. Ask a question to Scott Richie - could we make this part of the Wine app installation process, that peop

OK, Let's take Scott Ritchie's guidance as canonical on this, it may not get done for Maverick but a patch implementing this properly with tests would be accepted as a contribution. Mark -- Wine applications not listed in Unity Applications Place https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635223 You recei

Are wine apps going to be the only ones missing categories? As far as I can see the specs say that specifying categories is optional in .desktop files. Shouldn't we be fixing .desktop files that are missing nodisplay or excluding them explicitly in the unity-place-applications.menu? I don't like

Ah, I didn't realise that Wine apps don't have categories provided - makes sense though if you think that they are just Windows apps, there's no packaging. OK, perhaps a Wine category is needed then, to do this properly. It should of course only show up if there are Wine apps installed. -- Wine
