[Wine] Creating a working desktop shorcut for Rosetta Stone 3.4.5

When you create your link you need to make sure the working directory
of that link is set to where the .exe is. Most windows programs care
about it while linux ones don't (that's why it doesn't get set
usually)

Otherwise you can just write a small shell script setting the correct
working directory (cd ~/.wine/...) and calling wine. Then you can just
make a link to that script to make it all work easily. (this also let
you do more things like redirecting logs to file, ... if the need
arise)

> Has anybody had any luck making a working desktop shortcut for Rosetta Stone 3.4.5?  I can get the program to run smoothly, but whenever I try to create a desktop application launcher, no matter how I set it up, it always flat out doesn't work, or it throws some sort of fatal error inside of Rosetta Stone.
