[Bug 7587] Wrong working directory?

[Wine Bugs]

I run it from a custom Application Launcher that resides in my GNOME
Applications menu. The command is
wine "/home/snild/runewizard/RuneWord Wizard.exe"

The .dat files are by default located at
"/home/snild/runewizard/items.dat"
"/home/snild/runewizard/runes.dat"
"/home/snild/runewizard/runewords.dat"
In Windows, these files would be found when the app starts. In Ubuntu using
Wine, the files are not found. However, it works if I move the .dat files to
"/home/snild/items.dat"
"/home/snild/runes.dat"
"/home/snild/runewords.dat"
- That's why I think Wine is using the wrong working directory.

I just noticed:
If I use the console to navigate to /home/snild/runewizard/ and then run 'wine
"Runeword Wizard.exe"', the working directory appears to be correct. So I guess
the problem is that the working directory is set to your home folder when using
GNOME application launchers.. Might be a GNOME feature request, then, since
there is no way to set the working directory on the Applaunchers..
