I am not talking about a complete desktop, just about a little submenu
in your K-menu, or Gnome menu, or whatever menu one could be using. Such
a thing already exists, but is implemented with scripts instead of with
a Wine deamon/linux client. The current system does not seem to be to
flexible. Therefore, I suppose that a setup with wine deamon as a server
and a linux client would be better. For example: one could easily add
support for more desktop environments, without the changing the deamon.
