Given the lack of any movement on the relevant feature request of Free
Desktop in the almost *11* years since its filing, perhaps it's time to
re-evaluate whether Wine should be made to replicate the behavior of
Windows using the Free Desktop we have (and seemingly will continue to
have for the indefinite future) rather than the Free Desktop we wish we
had.

To be clear about the situation:
NOTOURBUG is a bit of a misnomer. This *is* a Wine bug, regardless of the 
strategy chosen for getting it fixed. Wine's mission is to replicate the 
behavior of Windows, and this issue represents a failure to do so. It may well 
be made much easier to fix if Free Desktop implemented a notion of temporary 
configuration changes like Windows has, but FD's mission is not to replicate 
Windows behaviors. For them it's merely a feature request. For Wine it remains 
a bug until the behavior matches that of Windows.

Asking FD to implement a feature rather than doing the work of making
Wine mimic it seems to have been a reasonable approach to getting this
bug fixed. But can that really still be said after 11 years of waiting?
