[Wine] Running GUI applications in background

[Elf & Dmitryi]

There might be at least two ways for this...

One is with cmdow.exe, http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/

Syntax would be cmdow /run /hid process.exe - could also be written
into a batch file.

Another is with the Windows Cron port,
http://www.kalab.com/freeware/cron/cron.htm - Cron runs everything
windowless.

or something like old Norton Commander scheduler, which allowed running
apps as hidden/systray-iconised.

     Not far from here, by a white sun, behind a green star, lived the 
Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats 
in their vats, no rules, no schools, no gloom, no evil influence of the

moon, no trouble from matter or antimatter -- for they had a 
machine, a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect 
in every respect. And they lived with it, and on it, and under it, and 
inside it, for it was all they had -- first they saved up all their
atoms, 
then they put them all together, and if one didn't fit, why they 
chipped at it a bit, and everything was just fine...
