It still doesn't work.

Wine 0.9.60 gave me the impression that this has been fixed. The release notes
said:

  - Better support for launching apps from Unix file managers.

Vincent Povirk (2):
      start.exe: Add /Unix switch for native file managers.
      tools: Modify wine.desktop to use start.exe /unix.

So, with the latest 0.9.61 under Kubuntu, I tried:

1) Clean Wine prefix (by deleting .wine and running wineprefixcreate)
2) Install Word Viewer (installer creates a shortcut in KMenu. Good.)
3) Associate *.doc with the .desktop file associated with Word Viewer.
4) Click on a *doc file.

Result:
Word Viewer opens but still no file loaded.

Next, I tried adding start.exe /Unix to the .desktop file's command line. That
is, modifying the command line from

env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE"

to

env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/.wine" wine start.exe /Unix "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE" %U

Result:
Word Viewer opens but still no file loaded.

So it looks like the solution posted didn't work.
