[Bug 6689] Created links do not reflect WINEPREFIX used

Setting the Exec= line in a .desktop file to: WINEPREFIX=foo wine bar
worked in KDE. In Gnome, it works if "run from the terminal" is set.

Unfortunately the Freedesktop spec for desktop entries does not
specify a way to add environment variables. So yes, it looks like
we'll need a wrapper script, or perhaps add a --prefix option to Wine?
