LXDE and Wine [SOLVED]

Hi,

I can't manage nicely a Win app in LXDE. For instance, I've got this (~/.local/share/applications/RH_Dictionary.desktop), created by KDE Menu Editor:

[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine /home/alexey/common/WinApps/random/rhudwcd.exe
GenericName=Random House Dictionary
Icon=accessories-dictionary
Name=RH Dictionary
NoDisplay=false
Path[$e]=$HOME/common/WinApps/random
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

I put it into ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/top, like this:

Plugin {
    type = launchbar
    Config {
        Button {
            id=/home/user/.local/share/applications/gparted.desktop
        }
        Button {
            id=/home/user/.local/share/applications/RH_Dictionary.desktop
        }
    }
}

but no, it won't run. gparted, for instance, created by the same KDE menu editor, runs fine.

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=GNOME;System;Filesystem;
Comment=Create, reorganize, and delete partitions
Exec=kdesu /usr/sbin/gparted %f
GenericName=Partition Editor
Icon=gparted
Name=GParted
NoDisplay=false
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
_X-GNOME-FullName=GParted Partition Editor

Any suggestions?

Bump. Probably I've got problems with Google, too. Nothing of note shows up. Sounds impossible, doesn't it?

Re: LXDE and Wine [SOLVED]

Found this example.
Modified my ~/.local/share/applications/RH_Dictionary.desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/home/alexey/.local/share/applications/RH_Dictionary.sh
GenericName=Random House Dictionary
Icon=accessories-dictionary
Name=RH Dictionary
NoDisplay=false
Path=/home/alexey/common/WinApps/random
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

It shows tooltip "RH Dictionary", and a nice icon, but nothing else.

~/.local/share/applications/RH_Dictionary.sh file:

#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /home/alexey/common/WinApps/random
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
exec wine rhudwcd.exe

Started this way,

$ bash RH_Dictionary.sh

it works.

Can it be a scripting problem? I'm no expert.

Re: LXDE and Wine [SOLVED]

Scripting it is. #!/bin/bash and a permission to run. Shame on me...

By the way, why does it run

$ bash RH_Dictionary.sh

way without a proper permission?
