--- Comment #1 from Ken Thomases ken@codeweavers.com 2013-09-08 14:21:51 CDT --- I assume you mean that it bounces in the Dock.
Wine doesn't really have control over that.
As you note, Wineskin is based on XQuartz. It serves as the X server. From the time it is launched, it is expected that it will have a presence in the Mac GUI. So, the process starts life as a GUI application. That's what causes it to bounce in the Dock.
By contrast, all Wine processes start as background processes. Not all of them load the Mac driver. Even of the ones that do load the Mac driver, not all will show a window and therefore appear in the Dock. So, many Wine processes never appear in the Dock. Those that do show a window transform themselves into foreground GUI applications but, since they were already running at the time, the Dock does not show the bounce animation.
The only way we could cause the bounce of the Dock icon would be for every Wine process to start life as a GUI process, even if it were never going to show a window. That would not be desirable.
