wine, q4wine and the KMenu

P42 · 04-05-2011, 07:41 AM

Hello dear readers,

so I have this win32 program that only runs after tweaking some settings in q4wine. Unfortunately however, the link to the program in the K-Menu was created at install time, and does not include aforementioned tweaks, so in order to start the program i have to start q4wine and then the program from there.
How can I make a link in the menu reflecting the q4wine-changed settings?

greetings, P42

To edit KDE's menu, right click on the blue K, select menu editor and change what you have to. Sometimes Windows programs don't behave, my poker program refuses to end so I launch it with

Code:

rxvt -e ~/.wine/drive_c/...

Then when I log-out, I close it. Just add the proper command to your link.
