Hi,

I'm not sure how to add icons to the desktop on the various window managers.
I'm not even sure if it can be done without gnome or KDE. However I know how
it can be done in kde and that should work in general. You would click 
on the
desktop select add > new > shortcut to application. Then you would type in
word or excel where it says name and enter "wine /windows path/program 
files/office/winword.exe"in the command section.

I haven't seen a window manager that would put icons on the desktop, but
I think there might be individual packages you could get to do this for you.
