Is explorer always running in Wine? I know "wine explorer" does not run
ShellDDEInit when it starts. I thought most people were against
additional processes, but I want to see the Progman DDE interface
working for the different ways of calling it.

ShellDDEInit didn't exist before Win 2000 and was in Shdocw.dll and not
shell32.dll. Do we want to call ShellDDEInit in shell32 when Wine starts
(and ends) then? It is supposed to be called only by the process that is
acting as the shell when it registers itself as a DDE host for the
shell. I don't think anything else would ever call it then.
