Wine apps not showing up on task bar etc

[Morgan Storey]

Then again beyond some games that I shouldn't be playing with I have never
had anything I have thrown at wine not work.I have always used the wine
hosted Ubuntu repo since it started prior to that I didn't use it much,
still don't:
 deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main

But yes I get all the apps I try on the taskbar, mainly InternetExplorer and
the ATO's tax app, but some games I play as well. They also show up in
alt+tab. Obviously replace the edgy bit above with your distro name, ie
Gutsy, Hardy etc.
