   Uh, NO. That may work for a few, but many others will die bigtime
if you do that. Note that there's no way to give a command line to
things you double-click, the assumed environment is very different,
and lots of other differences. 

   Just because you can get away with doing this for a few doesn't
mean that all will work.
