	Very simple. Run your application like this:

wine explorer /desktop=MyDesktopName,640x480 myprogram.exe

	Then run your other applications as usual:

wine otherprogram.exe

	It is obvious that you can setup short alias so you can just type "myprogram" 
instead of "wine explorer /desktop=MyDesktopName,640x480 myprogram.exe" in 
the console (or you can make an launch icon if you preffer GUI for starting 
programs).
