I just yum installed wine in F10 on a machine - in the past this gave a wine menu item set in Gnome at the top taskbar when the "Applications" menu is opened - is it just me or has something changed with a recent update?

Did you install all of wine? You need wine-desktop, iirc, as well as wine-core, and you might only see entries once you've actually installed some applications in the wine instance too.

Thanks Bill - that as indeed the problem - yum install wine-desktop gave me the wine menu...
Thanks again.

But that is not the end of the problem - now running winecfg just hangs - no messages, no avc, nothing - just hangs. I think an update has broken something but I have no idea which update or what is broken. I have posted elsewhere that Okular no longer runs either.

You should be able to work out what's been updated most recently by looking at the output of "rpm -qa --last" which shows (most recent first) installation order of all the packages in its database.

I found what the problem was - I had changed my graphics card and monitor - and this seems to have messed up .gconf and/or .gconfd - I mv'ed them to a .prev name and restarted gnome - and all is now well.
I had no idea that changing the graphics card could cause a gnome mess up and then have no error messages to indicate that this might be the problem!
Sorry for the noise.
