Trevino, Firstly I failed to say that the changes in post 10 only come
into effect after a logout and login - it seems that Unity does some
matching at startup. Also  .desktop files on the Desktop are not
included in this 'matching' and a StartupWMClass=Wine in them have no
effect when run. All of my .desktop files were created a long time ago
by earlier versions of wine and all had the line - I used a command
similar to the one above to find and grep for them before (and after)
making the changes.

Typical files before changes were:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/pcurtis/.wine" wine "C:\\Program 
Files\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX 2004\\Dreamweaver.exe" 
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Wine
Path=/home/pcurtis/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 
2004
Icon=9296_dreamweaver.0

[Desktop Entry]
Name=IrfanView 3.95
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/pcurtis/.wine" wine "C:\\Program 
Files\\IrfanView\\i_view32.exe" 
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=Wine
Icon=8ec2_i_view32.0

As you can see they are legacy applications from when I made the
transition to Ubuntu with 6.06 and the .desktop files would have been
created by an install by a wine version of about 3 years ago as the
machine started life with 8.04.1 and I have /home on a separate
partition which I preserve regardless of the type of upgrade.
