That's not completely true as all these environments are generally able to be
launched using an exec that matches the desktop-id or the WMClass or either to
provide their WMClass. Also, at least in unity, we have a whitelist of loaders
that receive a different treatment (we handle the parameter instead of the
launched binary), but this is not something that can be done easily also with
Wine if we want to have some basic application <-> desktop-file matching.

However, having a StartupWMClass that matches the launched .exe file (if
possibile) would be enough (at least for Ubuntu unity) to properly match wine
applications.
