Cant put a panel app shorcut in XFCE4

Hi, ive just installed a Fortran 77 compiler trough wine. Its a win32 command line compiler. But i cant make a panel icon shorcut.
If i open a terminal and type

 wine F77.EXE -h

It runs perfect, but i cant make a panel icon that open a terminal and execute that command.
I just get a blank terminal.
I put an icon that executes:

wine "/root/F77.EXE" -h

What can i do?

This is probably happening because the target is under /root, which shouldn't be readable to a normal user.  Move the executable somewhere under /home or /usr.  If it still gives you trouble, you might need to set the working directory to the directory containing the EXE.
