Wine in KDE [Solved]

[B3rtm3n]

I installed wine but it is not showing in the Kickoff menu. (see pic how it is on my openSUSE installation)

Normally when wine is installed on a Linux OS in Kickoff a separate submenu is created where you can run wine and wine programs.

How come this is not the case in Sabayon and how can I install it anyway?

Thanks for your help.

Seems to be a common issue after doing a bit of searching. I haven't had time to try all the solutions, but none I have worked for me yet.

I checked too on other OS and it seems often to be a bug in KDE or how the system is handling KDE.

Maybe in future releases it will be solved.

I am using KDE in Gentoo on my main laptop, and WINE does appear in the Kickoff menu (and in the Lancelot menu, which is what I use instead of Kickoff). The WINE menu entries are under Applications > Wine > Programs. Some of the app entires are in subfolders whereas others are not. Here are a few of the entries, to show what I mean:

Applications > Wine > Programs > Asta Project Viewer > Asta Project Viewer
Applications > Wine > Programs > MyPhoneExplorer > MyPhoneExplorer
Applications > Wine > Programs > MyPhoneExplorer > Uninstall
Applications > Wine > Programs > Windows Media Player
Applications > Wine > Programs > Notepad
Applications > Wine > Programs > IrfanView

I don't have to create these entries manually, they appear automatically when I install each application.

However, I don't have generic entries like the ones shown in the OpenSUSE screenshot you posted:

Browse C:\ Drive
Configure Wine
Uninstall Wine Software
Wine File
Wine Help Browser
Wine RegEdit
Winemine
