If I do:

rm -r ~/.wine/
wineprefixcreate
wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine

Then winemine opens in its own window.  It does not open inside a fake
desktop, which is what explorer /desktop is supposed to do.  However, if I
close winemine and run the same command again

wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine

I get the correct behavior the second time, and winemine appears inside a
desktop window provided by explorer.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?  Am I doing something wrong?

The only noninteractive workaround I can think of is to have a script to
run after wineprefixcreate that opens wine and immediately closes.  How
can I make wine start and immediately close, noninteractively?  Is there a
better solution?
