Command & Conquer 3 log

Hi,

Due to EACef/libcef crash reported here (irrelevant to the game I believe):
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32342#c121

I lauch Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars in the same way EA launches it as (EA
version):
"wine "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command
Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\RetailExe\1.10\cnc3game.dat" "C:\Program Files\EA
Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\CNC3.exe"
-config "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\Command
Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\CNC3_english_1.10.SkuDef"
"

Game starts and runs well.
It runs full screen and the only way to switch to Cinnamon desktop seems
ALT+TAB.

After clicking ALT+TAB desktop appears, but there's NO kind of Command &
Conquer 3's tab on the panel.
There's NO tab nor window to switch back to Command & Conquer 3 window either.

The only sign that Command & Conquer 3 is still running is a very small window
(w/o ANY buttons on it) in the very upper-left corner (very approximate 20x50
pixels) visible on top on every windows. It looks more like an icon/artifact.

The panel is at the bottom, so this Command & Conquer 3 "icon" is more like an
artifact.

Its possible to click on this very upper-left corner Command & Conquer 3
"artifact" and next only game's sound appears (still no game window opens).

Its IMPOSSIBLE to switch to game's window via ALT+TAB, panel.
In processes its clear the above wine command is still running and using
CPU/RAM.

Log is attached.

Clicking on the very upper-left corner artifact adds this to console:
