Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
I am currently using google sketchup through Wine which runs like a charm. I it clear to me that the menu will never be supported in the appmenu. However I do think it would be preferable to at least pin the application to the unity launcher.
The panel shows 'Wine windows program loader' rather than the actual application running under Wine. The same happens to the launcher. It shows the program loader but not the actual program.
When I pin it to the launcher it shows the Wine icon. When i try to start it from the launcher it raises the following error message:
The file 'wine' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.
I am now facing a nice clean desktop with all my apps in the launcher. Except one desktop icon to google sketchup...
When I was using 'Docky' on 10.10 this wasn't an issue and I was able to just add the application to the dock and start it. I think it would be good to add this behavior to the unity launcher so it doesn't feel like a reduction of functionality.

Argh. No confirmation box on that, can someone change it back to triaged? Sorry. (Didn't realize I could even change its status.)
