I would very much like to see a --spawn-new trigger that can be added
to a command to start a new virtual desktop.

At the moment my default setting is a virtual desktop for everything
and I believe this is the current wine default.  My issue is that
every application comes into that virtual desktop and you cannot alt
tab between them.  This is an issue when you have three full screen
games running at once and I really don't want to go making custom
settings for all of them.

No, it is not.

What's the purpose of running 3 full screen games simultaneously?
Perhaps you have to run them with different wine prefixes then.

i run all my games in a desktop as big as the root window. this is a
must for the game Grand Prix Legends and i grew acustomed to it. i can
change to other apps/desktops without screen-res-changes or similar
stuff - and there are games out there, that do not need 100% attention -
playing Heroes Of Might And Magic mulitplayer comes into my mind here.

wine explorer.exe /desktop=Name,800x600 myapp.exe

a hint about that command-line trick could be added to winecfg though, 
as it seems to be quite unknown.

Thanks for this Christian.  Running the apps in their own wine window
fixes several usability issues I was having with them (as I don't like
playing games fullscreen).  Christoph how do you change between apps
in the one window, or are you using multiple?
