Did this get sorted?
Nope just learned to cope with the issue like many things
I just tested on mine:
Right click game in steam, add shortcut to desktop double-click shortcut, game runs.
I checked the shortcut to see what the command is (right-click, properties):
steam steam://rungameid/648800
Is that what you have? The only thing I can think of is that steam isn't in your path, ie when you double click the shortcut it tries to run 'steam' but then can't find it.
If you open a terminal and type:
which steam
what's your output? You should have something like /usr/bin/steam
