A bit of extra information. Even when everything seems to work fine from the unity launcher you do not always get the correct matching if you start from a file which is associated with the program. ie if I right click on a .jpg file and open it with Paintshop Pro if turns up in the Launcher as Picasa or with a Wine Icon depending on which machine I am using.

An even more serious problem is that I tried the same with an LibreOffice .odt file and double clicking it resulted in a grey Libreoffice icon with the name LibreOffice 3.3 when you hover over it. I can not find a .desktop file on my machine which matches that in my searches so far although it opened LibreOffice Writer for the .odt file correctly. If however you pin the icon marked LibraOffice 3.3 and try to open it nothing happens. It seems the Wine problem covered in this bug may be part of a much bigger problem but I have been unable to find any overarching bug - there ought to be one against bamf or unity with a High priority as I suspect many more users will be affected by LibreOffice than Wine.
