Screenshot of Battlefield 2 after game just finished loading (and it's not
stuck)

I am not sure if wine supports _NET_WM_PING [0]. However, if it does, it should
be able to emulate _NET_WM_PING pong for some time if application running under
Wine is not responding.

Otherwise, most VM (mutter from GNOME Shell for example) gonna show up window
about not responding application (even if application is loading or just
finished loading) which could destabilize application itself (especially when
in full screen).

Could be seen in: Battlefield 2, World of Warcraft and probably plenty of other
games.

Wine does support _NET_WM_PING, but it can only respond to pings via the
application's message loop. This is consistent with the purpose of
_NET_WM_PING, and Windows has a similar feature where it can detect
unresponsive apps.

On Windows in my testing, if you click on a window that's been unresponsive for
about 5 seconds, it will grey out the window and add "(Not Responding)" to the
window title. Is it possible to make Windows do this by clicking at the right
time in the loading process?

I wasn't able to trigger this kind of behaviour by clicking after launching the
app.

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.11?
