When Wine detects that it's about to launch an app with special
configurations set in winecfg, why can't it launch a new desktop as
though we were calling an entirely new Wine instance?

Alternatively, perhaps winecfg should be able to intelligently create
and modify launchers for the start menu using its special overrides.
