What I was doing originally (a few days ago):
$ winecfg #enable virtual desktop
$ regedit #export registry key to foo.reg
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wineboot
$ regedit foo.reg
$ wine notepad # should be in a virtual desktop, but isn't.

wasn't working, but when I retested just now to verify the steps, seems to
work. Looking at the .reg files I had, seems that it must be exported from
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]

and not
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops]

That's what I get for reporting bugs at 4AM...sigh. Sorry for the noise.
