I installed suse 10.0 super (the 1 Cd install) and upgraded to KDE 3.5. Using KDE 3.5, I installed various programs, some of which is installed through wine. When doing so, wine creates a folder in the kde menu. However, when I ckick on the kDE menu, I don't see it listed there. When I go to the Menu Editor, I do see wine there. I also see lots of other tings in the Menu Editor that I don't see after I close the Menu Editor (ex. Games,Edutainment, etc.) Furthermore, I'm missing lots of things in the subfolder of Office and Internet.

Kmenu hides empty folders so that they won't take up place in your menu, you could try running kappfinder to locate missing apps and insert them into the menu.

To run kappfinder, just type it into the run command box in kmenu or from a terminal.
KDE expects to find a Linux binary or script in the wine subdirectories, but instead finds an .exe file, and ignores it. This often happens with wine apps.
Actually, when I switched to Debian from OpenSUSE 10.2 I was surprised to see my Wine installed Windows software showing up in the KDE Menu. I had never seen them in SUSE and didn't even know they were supposed to be there!
Try, just as an experiment, right clicking the SUSE KDE Kickoff icon and choosing to change to the traditional KDE Kicker style.
Perhaps Kickoff is not setup to deal with Wine installations but they are still there in the normal KDE Kickoff Menu?
You can always switch back to Kickoff (it is cool), but try it just to see if the Wine apps are there. They should be, as they are in the KMenu Edit application. They probably just aren't showing up in that newfangled SUSE KDE Kickoff.
