Yea the Launcher is finicky, sometimes it works (I mean works as in launches
wow.exe after hitting play) and sometimes it doesn't.  Just do a
WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wine/wowprefix" wine /path/to/WoW/Wow.exe

Works perfectly fine.  I even have a script because  of the double walking
bug (ie gnome or ubuntu send multiple key presses when holding down a button
or something, I don't remember specifics, just how to fix it) and to delete
my cache for NPCSCAN:

 ! /bin/bash

xset -r 25
xset -r 24
xset -r 39
xset -r 26

rm -r /home/<user>/Programs/WoW/Cache/

WINEPREFIX="/home/<user>/.wineWow" wine /home/<user>/Programs/WoW/Wow.exe

xset r 25
xset r 24
xset r 39
