I'm running redhat. (v7.2)
Here the applinks (*.desktop files) are in /etc/X11/applnk/.
Or if it is a kde specific one then in /usr/share/applnk/
But I think wine should go in /etc/X11/applnk
Of course this only holds if the user who runs the installer in wine is root.
If it is a simple user then you have to install to ~/.kde/share/applnk/ as it 
is already done in the wineshelllink...
