[Wine] "taskbars" or "windows lists" in Wine

I am running Wine 1.2-rc7 on a Ubuntu 10.04 minimal install. I have installed X, and Wine seems to run fine. The problem is that applications that want to make a "window list" or taskbar don't draw them. It isn't a fatal error, the applications simply act like nothing happened. For instance, when I use BBClean (blackbox for Windows), it shows the panel but not the window list. And when running ReactOS Explorer in desktop mode (in the application, not Wine's "emulate virtual desktop" feature) it draws the desktop with icons, but doesn't draw the taskbar, e.g. no start button, clock, anything. One thing I think might be a conflict is how Wine manages it's windows when the "let the window manager control windows" is set to off.

I know this is stretching the limits of what Wine was intended for, but does anybody know what could be causing this? Are API calls of this kind simply not implemented?

Thanks.
