Hi!
  BTW I don't like this feature and I would prefer at least a commandline 
switch, or maybe a registry key, to prevent it.
  Why ?
  Because wine (and windows apps) sometimes crash and remain running, doing
nothing useful but eating CPU/memory, and not being able to be killed easily
(even killing the window doesn't close the app reliably). For this case, it's
most easy to execute "killall -KILL <some static name like wine/wine-pthread>"
instead of doing ps axufw, searching for the name of the app and then killing
it. I had a single-liner script called kw (kill wine) and doing exactly the
above command, and a beutifull bomb icon calling it. Now I can't se it - even
killing wineserver sometimes doesn't help.
  With regards, Pavel Troller
