After upgrading Steam to the new UI, the application icons Steam generates have
a launch command doesn't work with Wine, because the steam URL handler isn't
registered (at least in GNOME):

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Uplink
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine winebrowser steam://rungameid/6910
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true

$ wine winebrowser steam://rungameid/1510
fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx stub: 0x110f60 0
gvfs-open: steam://rungameid/1510: error opening location: La ubicación
especificada no está soportada
(That translates to "unsupported location.")

A desktop file generated with the older UI looks like this and launches the
game fine:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\\Archivos de
programa\\Steam\\steam.exe" -applaunch 6910
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Archivos de programa/Steam
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/icons/b45c_hdtp.png

There's a workaround for this problem. Add an URL handler
for the steam protocol to your desktop environment and have it run the
following:
wine "c:\\Archivos de Programa\\steam\\steam.exe" %s
