Bug Description

On Trusty, after the change to use gnome-flashback-applications.menu for the gnome-flashback session all Wine applications appear in the "Other" menu, which leads to a confusing list of applications if the installed programs have common shortcut names in their Start Menu folder like Uninstall, Help, License and Readme.

I did a custom edit of the gnome-flashback-applications.menu to include the Menus defined in the wine.menu file in the applications-merged folder which makes the default wine applications appear in the Wine menu, but the user installed applications that are found in the ~/.local/share/applications/wine folder still show up in the Other menu.

Currently installed Package Versions:
gnome-menus 3.10.1-0ubuntu2
gnome-panel 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu10

It would be nice if bug reported could provide screenshot with how menu
should look.

I am going to install wine now.
