Yup, the Wine Virtual Desktop panel is really dumb... It appears if you are running more than one application and has no configuration options what-so-ever. It would nice to have at least the option to disable completely it with a Wine registry setting.
I've attached a patch, tested with Wine-Staging 1.9.13 git, that disables the taskbar/panel (aka "tray_window") from ever being created. Certainly reverts the issue that op is experiencing (fixing AvP Classic for example).
