--- Comment #78 from Terry <1criticoder at gmail.com> ---
Given the lack of any movement on the relevant feature request of Free Desktop
in the almost *11* years since its filing, perhaps it's time to re-evaluate
whether Wine should be made to replicate the behavior of Windows using the Free
Desktop we have (and seemingly will continue to have for the indefinite future)
rather than the Free Desktop we wish we had.

To be clear about the situation:
NOTOURBUG is a bit of a misnomer. This *is* a Wine bug, regardless of the
strategy chosen for getting it fixed. Wine's mission is to replicate the
behavior of Windows, and this issue represents a failure to do so. It may well
be made much easier to fix if Free Desktop implemented a notion of temporary
configuration changes like Windows has, but FD's mission is not to replicate
Windows behaviors. For them it's merely a feature request. For Wine it remains
a bug until the behavior matches that of Windows.

Asking FD to implement a feature rather than doing the work of making Wine
mimic it seems to have been a reasonable approach to getting this bug fixed.
But can that really still be said after 11 years of waiting?
