Agreed.

When the 'abiword' file is missing, 'Desktop/SpaceMonger.exe' starts OK.
When the 'abiword' file is present, 'Desktop/SpaceMonger.exe' fails as
per Bug#424923.
The file is attached, it might be worth pointing out the garbage
characters on line #4, and line #15 looks guilty...
% nl -b a ~/.local/share/applications/abiword-usercustom.desktop | grep
'[^1]4\|15'
4 Name[ja]=AbiWord ������������������������
15 MimeType=application/x-executable;
Questions that come to mind: if 'abiword-usercustom.desktop' is what
causes it, then what caused that this unfavorable mutation? Are the
garbage characters normal? Why should 'nautilus' properties for
'Desktop/SpaceMonger.exe' show 'wine'?
HTH...
