SUMMARY
Many Linux users has Wine installed. When opening a *.exe, it will be run by
Wine without confirmation. I found some malware pretend to be a *.mp4, but when
you click it, it is executed by Wine. If we are showing warning when opening
*.sh or *.py, we should also warn users about any files that is going to be
opened by Wine, which is much more dangerous. In reality, most *.exe files are
downloaded from random websites or BitTorrent network. Users should never trust
an exe file on Linux.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Wine and download some exe file.
2. Open Dolphin.
3. Click to open an exe file.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin will open and run exe without warning.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should popup a warning, just like it does for bash/python scripts.
