The toolboxes themselves don't randomly disappear, per-say. It's a matter of
clicking at just the right instance, and each time it involves user interaction
to "force" the disappearing act to occur. Wine can hold Adobe Photoshop and
it's windows visible for as long as the program is in operation as long as
there's no using the program for the meantime (aka: doing a random act
somewhere else in the house such as watching television). It's when the user
begins using various menu options (including the toolbox or layer properties,
etc.) that all toolboxes decide to disappear at random. In order to "solve"
this (quoted because this is NOT a solution, simply a temporary fix), making
the primary window smaller and placing the toolbox windows on either side is
about the only idea I've came up with.

In terms of the window 'emulation', I'm speaking of the option in winecfg
regarding emulating a desktop with a certain HxW property. For my 1280x1024
screen, I'll usually use 1100x900, which seems to fill somewhere around 90% of
the screen with the Photoshop window. Using such a method, I'll typically slap
a program running in Wine (such as Photoshop) on an unused virtual desktop.
It's an ugly maneuver, but it works.
