This problem seems to be only associated with PowerPoint and not the other Office Apps. Also, whenever I minimize the PowerPoint windows they will group together on my taskbar but little gray square boxes appear on the top left hand side of my screen. It takes a bit of clicking around to get a different PowerPoint window to maximize after it has minimized as well. Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Sorry, let me re-phrase...do you think http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23108 will be fixed in the next stable release? That appears to be a wine problem and not related to my graphics driver.
