E.g. installing game Syberia from GOG creates a desktop link which is imported by Q4Wine.
Trying to open this link causes error -1.

The actual command issued by Q4Wine to run Syberia is:

/usr/bin/env WINEPREFIX='/home/ktamp/.wine' WINESERVER='/usr/bin/wineserver' WINELOADER='/usr/bin/wine' WINEDLLPATH='/usr/lib32/wine/' WINEARCH='win32' WINEDEBUG='-all' /bin/sh -c "cd '/home/ktamp/.wine/dosdevices/c:/GOG Games/Syberia/' && '/usr/bin/wine' 'C:\windows\command\start.exe Unix homektamp.winedosdevicesc:usersPublicDesktopSyberia.lnk' 2>&1 "

The culprit here is in the last part:
'C:\windows\command\start.exe Unix homektamp.winedosdevicesc:usersPublicDesktopSyberia.lnk'

If this is split in two and the second part is simplified (while adding missing backslashes), it works:
'C:\windows\command\start.exe' 'c:\users\Public\Desktop\Syberia.lnk'

Ok.

Good news: I was able to reproduce this with the other game downloaded from GOG.
Bad news: now I have to walk through this game before I will create a fix for this issue... >_<

This issue was caused by odd regexp parser: the '/unix /home...' should be passed as arguments to start.exe.

This commit: 82de0db should fix the issue. Note you will need to remove imported icons in the import folder manually before testing the fix.
