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. :-).

The same way you would make an icon for a terminal command. Just Google shortcut ubuntu terminal command or something similar.

What is the procedure to create a panel icon for a wine app that does not
show up in the Application launcher?  And how can I launch the app
without having to see all the garbage that shows up when I start the app
from the command line?

Today, I installed Paint Shop Pro (an excellent windoze photo editor that
runs perfectly under wine) by just installing the CD and clicking on
'setup.exe'.  It installed perfectly and showed up immediately under the
launcher wine tab. Then a right-click on the app and I could add it to
panel.

But when I tried to do the same thing with Pagemaker, it installed here:
/home/joe/.wine/drive_c/PM6/ and I can start it with this:
$ wine PM6.EXE and it runs okay (not great, but somewhat) but all of this
appears in the terminal window (and more messages appear while I am
trying to use it).

How can I launch it from the panel instead and avoid all these garbage
messages?
