That's not completely true as all these environments are generally able
to be launched using an exec that matches the desktop-id or the WMClass
or either to provide their WMClass. Also, at least in unity, we have a
whitelist of loaders that receive a different treatment (we handle the
parameter instead of the launched binary), but this is not something
that can be done easily also with Wine if we want to have some basic
application <-> desktop-file matching.

However, having a StartupWMClass that matches the launched .exe file (if
possibile) would be enough (at least for Ubuntu unity) to properly match
wine applications.
