You may also want to add a shortcut to the applications menu. Got it from this post

Create a new entry in /usr/share/applications

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Navicat
Comment=Database Admin Tool
Exec=/bin/sh  "/opt/navicat/start_navicat"
Icon=/path/to/icon
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Wine;
StartupNotify=true
