Are wine-based and mono-based programs started differently?

Question

I was wondering if wine-based and mono-based programs are started differently?

1. For wine-based, I go through Gnome GUI, clicking Applications -> Wine -> Programs -> . How can I call it from terminal?
2. For mono-based, I use terminal, where I type mono path-to-program. Can I call it from Gnome GUI?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Wine: In terminal: wine /path/to/executable.exe

Mono: create a shortcut or a launcher, and have it as mono /path/to/program.exe (another method is to hit Alt+F2 and type in mono /path/to/program.exe)

That should answer your two questions.
