I don't mind the command line for under the hood stuff, but not for launching typical user apps. KDE allows you to set the working directory for launchers, but I don't think Gnome does and I have no idea about Unity. You could try using Code: wine start /Unix /path/to/myApp.exe and if that doesn't work, just write a shell script that changes the directory and launches the app and use the launcher for that.
