Hi,

I wrote a tiny patch which changes the window class inside of winex11
from "Wine" to the name of the program executable. This solves the
problem and does not require any changes to desktop files (and it also
works if you start the program from a terminal). Most window managers
should now only group together the windows of the same executable and
not all wine applications. The patch is available at:

https://github.com/compholio/wine-
compholio/blob/master/patches/winex11-Window_Groups/0001-winex11
-Prevent-window-managers-from-grouping-all-wi.patch

Could you guys verify that it works for you? I tested it with XFCE and
Unity and it solves the problem.

The patch does not implement the AppUserModelIDs feature but since Wine
still defaults to Windows XP mode, I assume that most applications
wouldn't use this feature anyway.

Michael
