Upon first installing app-emulation/wine, notepad.exe is made the default text editor. Nobody wants this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge wine 2.Click a text file in your favorite desktop file manager Actual Results: NOTEPAD?!? WTF GENTOO DIAF Expected Results: Sanity
cant see anything in wine that would do this explicitly, and no real info in original report obvious things missing: - emerge --info - emerge wine -pv - what is the mime type for a file opened in notepad `file -i` - who has registered with that mime type in the .desktop database: grep -r mime/type /usr/share/app*

and what DE are you using ? GNOME/KDE/... ?
I use gnome-base/gnome-light-2.28.2
no idea where gnome keeps it per-user mime database for you to check text/plain bindings ... maybe gnome team does
When I remove the file /home/user/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-txt.desktop the notepad entry disappears and it works as expected.
(In reply to comment #5) > no idea where gnome keeps it per-user mime database for you to check text/plain > bindings ... maybe gnome team does > The per-user mime information is stored (according to freedesktop standards) in ~/.local/share/mime . I believe wine adds itself for various mime types (txt, jpg, png, html, etc) at runtime when the first wine application is run. Due to various silliness, the last application to register itself for a mimetype becomes the default application. Hence, wine takes over all the mimetypes... OTOH, IMO wine shouldn't even *try* to register itself. It has no business interfering with the rest of the desktop. Certainly not automatically by default.
For wine-1.2 stable release (and an earlier 1.1 development release), I think that's one of their major features. I may find it nice for extensions handled by Windows programs I specifically install myself (though WinRAR doing it is annoying), but I don't think anyone would want those wannabe notepad/wordpad and so on that come with wine itself to register themselves.. The real solution is fixing the spec in this regard, but...
thanks, that leads back to `winemenubuilder`. unfortunately, this program takes care not only of file associations, but for creating desktop items for installed Windows programs (i.e. the Start Menu). i dont see a way of untangling the two operations, and people certainly want Start Menu integration. feel free to open a bug report upstream since this is pure upstream behavior, and i dont intend to deviate in this regard.
