This works fine for any normal application, but chokes on 'wine freecell'
To be sure, these were the steps I followed:
Right click on desktop.
Create New/ File  -> Link to application
Properties for Program.Desktop >Application
Description: Freecell
Command:/home/john/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell/wine freecell.exe _> OK
Icon is now created on desktop:Link to Applocation.
Click on Icon.
Error Message:
