OOh. If it were so easy . ...! Yes and No. IIRC Windows starts the Graphics Desktop Manager, then the first instance of Windows Explorer as the desktop widgets - I expect this is what you're getting at. Subsequent instances will run as file managers. You can stop all instances of Explorer and run another desktop widget set - or no widgets at all, as long as you have some means of starting programs (say cmd.exe). Under it all, GDM supports the Desktop, a bit like X.
Yes, Explorer will run with wine. No, It won't become a desktop and support other applications; it will be a file manager, just like on the Windows desktop, but without the lovely cut'n'paste and drag'n'drop support from the desktop environment. I really miss those . . .
