I use crossover on gentoo with no problems, although I've never
bothered with menus/icons. This might help though:

http://support.codeweavers.com/viewticket.php?ticket_id=9651

Try typing in a shell:

    /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --cx-app winword

It should run word. You can create links that run applications
automatically by doing:

    ln -s /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine /usr/local/bin/winword
    
etc.

If the link above doesn't solve the problem, the crossover guys are
really helpful and will be able to solve the problem with your
install. Mail office-support@crossover.codeweavers.com.

Regards,
James
