Directory problem with the µTorrent 1.8

[dai_vernon]

I have my .torrent files set to open in µTorrent. In 1.7.7 I could simply double click them and it would work fine, but now, after upgrading to 1.8 it errors out when I try.

The torrents are usually on the desktop, so here's a sample error message.

Unable to load /home/taylorh/Desktop/file.torrent. Path not found!

I think this has something to do with wine tricking the programs into thinking they are operating out of a windows-style file hierarchy. How do I correct this?

I hate to bump, but this is a rather annoying problem and I don't know anything about WINE, and a google search doesn't turn up relevant stuff for me.
