The application tells shell32 to write the .lnk file to a specific
C:\path\to\file.lnk location and remembers that location. Any attempt to move
or rename the .lnk after that - even to the other desktop - loses that file and
stops the application from deleting it on uninstall.

The only thing I can think of that would fix this is to virtualize the
filesystem - eg. use a FUSE module that merges
~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Desktop with ~/Desktop when reading, but write .lnk
files to ~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Desktop and everything else to ~/Desktop.
