creating wine shortcuts

How can I make a nice KDE desktop shortcut to a Wine application? I tried creating one in the traditional way; right-click, new link to application, etc. but it did not work. The command I set to execute was:
wine /path/whatever.exe
I WAS able to create a working link using the ln command:
ln -s /path/whatever.exe /path to desktop/whatever
Interesting that I didn't have to call Wine to make it work. ...but I can't change the ugly icon that's on it. What I'd like to have is a regular desktop shortcut where I can modify the icon.
