IMHO, the best thing to do would be to fix Wine's managed mode. For one
thing, modal anything is severely broken. I had CDRWin running which has the
main window, then a modal window for record, then a modal dialog to display
the record percentage done. I accidently minimized one of the windows that
was behind the modal dialog and all hell broke loose. We should probably not
give the app minimize messages if it is not expecting them (seems simple,
doesn't it, don't know how hard it is to implement though). Fortunately, the
CD actually continued burning fine! So I just hit Ctrl-C when I saw all the
lights go off.
Another issue is actually getting GNOME's Tasklist to pick up on the Wine
icons (or any icons for that matter.. X-Chat seems to display an icon, but
nothing else).
