While executing the command from the command line or a script, the
shell (bash) expands the character ~ to the value in $HOME. As I
understand it, executing it from a launcher (.desktop) is not supposed
to do that but it did up to 8.04. Making the command sh -c "xdg-open
~.." would.
Note that, according to Wine HQ, that launcher feature is "Ubuntu's doing".
But I can't figure how then it is not removed when upgrading to a
release downloaded from HQ.
