What about making a Wine GUI to behave more like emulators like VirtualBox.
It's extremely hard right now to get Wine in desktop mode. It would be nice if
you could start Wine as an application, which opens up a window like this:

And if you start one of those prefixes, it by default opens a Wine Desktop with
a simple Taskbar & Start-menu. Somewhere in the Start-menu could be the option
to switch to desktop integration mode. There could also be an option to run the
Wine Desktop full-screen. Like this:

I believe this would be very good for usability. Desktop mode is more stable
than seamless mode, yet it's hidden in winecfg. This kind of UI also exposes
the prefix-functionality in a transparent way. Wouldn't that be a nice 1.0
polishing idea?
