It has the Wine icon on Ubuntu. Currently, it houses the Programs submenu and 3 other menu items (Uninstall Wine Software, Configure Wine, and Browse C:\ Drive). Ideally, we'd get rid of all 3 of these: Uninstall would be integrated into Add/Remove Programs, Configure Wine would be done through system->preferences and by right click->properties on applications, and Browse C:\ Drive would be in the Places menu. Once those are gone, then we can move things "up" one step - instead of Applications->Wine->Programs, we'd just have Applications->Wine Programs. One open question: what to do with Windows apps that don't put themselves in Program Files, but rather put themselves at the top of the start menu? Thanks, Scott Ritchie
