No need for any of that, just put 1 file in
~/.local/share/applications/ and it should work fine. Alternatively
you could put them somewhere inside ~/.wine and set $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
(put the files in ~/.wine/menu/share/applications and set
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME to ~/.wine/menu/). I'm pretty sure you could add a
line to some dot file (.xinitrc?) and have this set on login.
