Finally!! I think I can help on this one. :-P. I've just been lurking around here, but let me know if this helps you out. I have a few YouTube videos about wine and setting up desktop shortcuts for the gnome 3 environment. The links are here: How to Create Desktop Shortcuts in the gnome 3 Environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQleM0DrLvQ How to Install Wine on CentOS 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40BH9W5ToVI Now, here's the difference of the desktop shortcut. In the Exec line type "Exec=wine /specify/the/directory/of/the/windows/application" Other than that, everything works the same. The real differences are that I didn't need to specify the directory for my wine executable, but I did for the application. I tested this with putty. Sorry it took me so long to say anything. I just wanted to make sure that my solution was valid. Let me know if it helps. :-).
