	If you want I can send you wrapper script which can be used to run Windows 
application from any working directory with UNIX (not Windows) paths as 
arguments (they will be automatically converted to Windows paths so Windows 
application can use them).
	In other words such wrapper script will allow to use any Windows application 
as usual UNIX application. You can use it to create launching icons for your 
Windows application, use drag-and-drop with these icons as usually, etc.
	Of course you need to make sure that your application does work with WINE 
first; read below.

	Run konsole or any other xshell you like and make sure to cd to the directory 
with *.exe file before running it with WINE. For example:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/My\ Program/
wine program.exe

	If your application was installed in recent WINE with clean WINE prefix and 
still doesn't work you should report a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org .


	Thank you for using WINE.
