Wine's builtin control does just launch the shell's version of the
control panel, unless it's given an argument like "DESKTOP",
"DATE/TIME", etc.  See programs/control.c.

Those string arguments to control aren't functional, because the
control panel applets they reference don't exist in Wine.  Launching
control panel items via name is described in MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776838.aspx
See especially "Executing Control Panel Items",
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776841(VS.85).aspx

You might try to make some of those that have an analogue work in
Wine, especially the "Legacy Control Panel Commands" "desktop" and
"color".
