           Summary: Wine doesn't have a desktop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.18.
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ekkehard.morgenstern at onlinehome.de


Although it's nice to run apps in individual windows, it's quite annoying that
there's nothing similar to the Windows desktop ("wine explorer" doesn't count
because it's akin to Windows 3.1 and Windows NT 3.x, which are both beyond
outdated). Also, applications like "wine iexplore" don't have a user interface.
Although is might be convenient when invoking particular websites, it is a
hindrance to smooth usage of that feat. Overall, Wine doesn't leave the
impression to be a usable Windows alternative. There are still many applications
which run only Windows, and I want to use Linux for each and every program that
I use, even if that involves using Wine. So, to make the user experience more
pleasurable, a desktop should be added that runs in its own window and that can
give the user a Windows Explorer like feel.
