You are correct, Kevin. They are .menu files. My mistake.

As near as I can tell, they do.
For example, I installed "DisplaySet" with Wine on both my laptop (which
is having the trouble) and my desktop. On the laptop no menu entry
ever appeared while on the desktop a DisplaySet menu appears under the
Programs folder with two entries, DisplaySet and DisplaySet Help.
I've confirmed that identical files were installed on each machine with
one picking them up and the other not. Not being clear on which file
to look for that controls all of this isn't helping.
