I noticed some strangeness with virtual desktops. Configuring one (either via
winetricks or winecfg) and then starting e.g., notepad/regedit starts the
application outside of the virtual desktop.

To ensure it wasn't a race, I did 'wineserver -w' (and also added a sleep of 10
seconds), but the problem remains. After a few tries (usually 2-3), the
application will start inside the desktop, and from there, it seems to always
work as expected.

Commandline used:
$ winetricks -q vd=1024x768 ; wineserver -w ; sleep 10 ; notepad

screenshot attached.
