Because it's a tedious and boring task to narrow down those unknown bugs
in closed-source apps. And that's exactly why we ask you (since you got
access to the sources) to tell us what the application is trying to do
which doesn't work in Wine...
Actually fixing bugs is usually easy, tracking them down OTOH...

Even if your application relies on undocumented behaviour ("potential
bugs" heh) it should work - if it doesn't that's a bug in Wine which
should be fixed.
And by the way:
Managed=N breaks focusing for everything on my box (bug #2149)... :-)
