[Bug 3295] Wine fails to run applications because it does not change to their directories when running them.

For me, this is not a bug in Wine but rather a lack of a wrapper around wine
itself. For example, in Windows, if you start an application from the command
line, you can run it from a directory different from the one the application is.
On the other hand, if you double click on the application icon in the Shell
Explorer (or use a shortcut), then it will change directory before starting the
application.

If Wine always did the directory change, one could not emulate 1) (which could
be a problem for some other applications who may explicitely be started by a
parent application from another directory than the one they are in).
