This was still the case in Ubuntu 17.10 (I'll be able to retest and submit new logs soon).
- The zombie Wine icons clutter the Gnome Shell launcher and app switcher until there is no space - Moreover Wine leaves the window manager in a really messy state so that Alt-Tab does not trigger app switching in Gnome Shell (and in Unity, windows were placed on top of the shell/launcher/dash) Work-around: - close/loose all applications and restart the session (Wayland) - restart window manager with Alt+F2 and type "r[enter]" (under Xorg) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1695607 Title: Killed Wine application still shown in Gnome launcher Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After a Wine application has been killed by OOM, its icon is still shown in the Gnome Shell dash and marked as running application. The icon is not associated with any process, since no process of the killed application is running. Klicking the icon triggers after some time a dialog "<Application> does not respond. [Wait] [Force quit]". When choosing any of these choices, nothing happens and the icon persists in the dash until Gnome Shell is restarted.
