--- Comment #2 from Alexander Schlarb <alexander-kde at xmine128.tk> ---
Any particular reason why this bug (that already has a proposed solution!)
isn't fixed in KDE 4 or KDE 5? Xwang's solution still works in KDE5, just the
file name that has to be edited changed to /etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu
.

Fixing this issue is trivial in both KDE 4 and 5 and a "patch" has already been
provided. Even if there is no directory named applications-merged present in
the entire menu search path a quick test of mine showed that adding this line
does not cause any issues.
Fixing this is only a matter of minutes for anybody with commit access to
libkf5service-data (a lot less time than I have already invested in
investigating this!) and would provide benefit to (at least) all users of plain
WINE (with winemenubuilder), would make KDE more compliant with the menu spec
it says it implements and would be (as my tests showed) would cause no
side-effects if it doesn't apply on that particular system.

Prevent users bugging you for something so trivial, fix this!
