Did you try to make a shortcut to

wine "C:\Program Files\[wherever seterra is]\seterra.exe"

?  In my experience, you can make it work by forming a shortcut with a 
target like this.  (You can also do it without the quotes, but then you 
have to escape every backslash and space.  It's easier to just put the 
thing in quotes, unless the options you have to pass to the win 
executable file need quotes.)
