Description Ilya Chernykh 2008-11-01 21:27:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Standard Wine menu entry does not work. The properties of the entry are shown in the screenshot. When clicking there is no effect. But if to run command xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c from command line, all works well. If to place the shortcut on the desktop also does not work.

The same if to replace the directory name with any other.

Have no idea why the same command runs from command line but does not from shortcut.

That's because we don't parse the "~" character in the launcher command. If you write the full home path instead of "~", it works.

Starting with version 3.28, nautilus will not handle the "files on desktop background" feature. For better alternatives, read this blog post https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/nautilus-desktop-plans/
