This bug has been reported 9 months ago, and the bug itself has been
around much longer. Why isn't this fixed?

As a problem scenario, I might have installed Xara Xpress 4 through the
default wine configuration (~/.wine), and then decided to move this
directory afterwards (because I want to keep the installs clean and
separate). I place all my different wine installs into /local/apps, i.e.
/local/apps/Photoshop, /local/apps/Cæsar3, etc.

The only change I really need to do to make it work, is to update the
launcher in the Gnome menu, but as we all know, this does not work! Only
one of the two files gets updated, as seen below:

(All files relative to ~/.local/share/applications/)

wine-Programmer-Xara-Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial-Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ 
Trial.desktop
------------------------------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/local/apps/XaraXpress/" wine 
"C:\\Programfiler\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 4\\Xtreme.exe" 
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Wine
Path=/local/data/carl-erik/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programfiler/Xara/Xara Xtreme 
Pro 4
Icon=29ab_xtreme.0
Name[nb_NO]=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial
Icon[nb_NO]=29ab_xtreme.0
Terminal=false

wine/Programmer/Xara/Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial/Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ 
Trial.desktop
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/local/data/carl-erik/.wine" wine 
"C:\\Programfiler\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 4\\Xtreme.exe" 
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Wine
Path=/local/data/carl-erik/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programfiler/Xara/Xara Xtreme 
Pro 4
Icon=29ab_xtreme.0

As you can see, only the first file gets the WINEPREFIX changed to
/local/apps/XaraXtreme
