Perhaps we can store the Wine prefix in the .lnk file somewhere. Then we'd
write
a Unix tool that extracts the prefix and runs 'wine start <shortcut>.lnk' in
it.

We'd register the tool with the native desktop as the handler for
application/x-win-lnk and stop writing separate .desktop files when writing
to the desktop folder.

That leaves the thumbnail issue. Presumably thumbnails are cached to mitigate
the performance issue? Alternatively we could have our own thumbnailer cache
the generated icons.

Another issue with this approach is that Gnome hides the .desktop extension
but not the .lnk extension, like Windows does.
