Great. Now KDE and Gnome will have a PE loader and windows resource 
parser. Plus when the .lnk points to a document they may have to load 
the Windows registry to see what icon Windows associated with that 
document, especially if that document type is not present in the 
Gnome/KDE MIME database.

Plus, how do you know where 'c:\Program Files\Foo\Bar.exe' is?

What Wine could do is try to sync the Unix and Windows desktops with FAM 
magic, all while not replicating the .lnk files to the Unix desktop.
