Isn't it freecell.exe that's in /home/john/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell, not wine? It would make more sense as
/usr/local/bin/wine /home/john/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell/freecell.exe

Also a good point ;-) . Although the wine binary should be in the $PATH, so one should normally not need to use the full path to it.

consult your window manager (KDE, Gnome, ...) how to create a desktop icon and use the command "wine freecell" to be run.
In KDE, you can right click on the desktop and select Create New/ File/ Link to application.
This works fine for any normal application, but chokes on 'wine freecell' To be sure, these were the steps I followed: Right click on desktop. Create New/ File -> Link to application Properties for Program.Desktop >Application Description: Freecell Command:/home/john/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell/wine freecell.exe _> OK Icon is now created on desktop:Link to Applocation. Click on Icon. Error Message: KDEInit could not launch '/home/john/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/Freecell/wine freecell.exe' John
