I have no specific knowledge running ToDoList on Linux under Wine but as I trawl the web and come across people figuring it out, I will add links here. One day I might also give the links meaningful names ;)

Referring to Link 1 above (which refers, in turn to http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-291898.html):
The method recommended does work for me, at least to get TDL opened. The authors recommend creating a launcher using a shell script ("ToDoList.sh"). Alternatively, you can add it to the menus using desktop files (which I prefer). Gnome and xfce (and I'm also told KDE) use freedesktop.org standards for desktop entries. For Gnome, see http://library.gnome.org/devel/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en
This is the text of the desktop file I created to make a menu entry:
~~~~~~~START (this is not part of the file)~~~~~~~~~
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=ToDoList
Comment=To Do List
Categories=Office;Accessories
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/YOUR-USER-NAME-HERE/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\ToDoList\ToDoList.exe"
Icon=/usr/share/icons/todolist32.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
~~~~~~~END (this is not part of the file)~~~~~~~~~
You can copy the text above into a text file, then save the file as ToDoList.desktop in /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/. Insert your username at USERNAME. I copied the icon file from the AbstractSpoon website, and copied into /usr/share/icons, changing permissions so that all could read and write. Gnome and xfce monitor this directory (and /usr/share/applications/ for global user menus, but for some reason I have trouble with this when using that directory) so that you should have to do anything else - it will automatically start appearing on your menu in the Office section. I hear KDE has an update command you have to run - but I don't know it, as I don't use KDE.

Correction: Gnome and xfce monitor the ... /share/applications/ directories for changes, not the /usr/share/icons/ which might be what you think from what I wrote above!
