[Bug 50598] Wine Clipboard not always shared across to X11

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

So going back to the original point where I saw a difference.. 

Using `wine start` on the Ubuntu unity launcher is the problematic point. 

I do not understand what the ubuntu unity launcher is doing when it executes
what is specified in `Exec` line, in the `.desktop` file.

Clipboard Not Shared from wine to X11:
Launched through `.desktop` 
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/paui/.winex86" WINEDEBUG='fixme-all' wine start
"C:\\opt\\pdfxedit\\PDFXEdit.exe" Z:%f

Clipboard gets Shared:
Launched through `.desktop` 
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/paui/.winex86" WINEDEBUG='fixme-all' wine
/home/paui/.winex86/drive_c/opt/pdfxedit/PDFXEdit.exe Z:%f

When the same commands specified in the Exec line via a Terminal get executed
Clipboard gets shared, in both cases. 

"local" clipboards always work in all the cases.

I tried to add the /b option "Don't create a new console for the program." as
specified [here](https://wiki.winehq.org/Start) but I am guessing it is not
interpreted correctly and the program does not get executed.. or perhaps I have
misunderstood how that option should work. 

Anyway putting this to rest for now and as default will attempt to Avoid using
wine start in the future.
