--- Comment #11 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2009-04-19 21:09:53 --- Wine already has all that implemented. From terminal run: cd ~; wine start program.exe
This bug is invalid. You see exactly the same behavior as on windows.
The only possible valid point - Wine doesn't create proper .lnk & .desktop files. They always specify full path and work directory.
