  Natty Narwhal (Alpha 2) - Unity with Wine issue
  Two Aesthetic and Ease of Use issues running Wine under 11.04A2

  ISSUE #1:
  Notification Area has been removed, and so the normal Wine Dock has been undocked. This creates a floating "Wine System Tray" window, containing the notification icons from the normal systray. 
  As it's now a normal window, it can be hidden beneath the (potential) dozens of windows that one has open, and means it might be difficult to sort out a misbehaving Wine App.

  ISSUE #2:
  All Wine apps are shown with a Wine icon on the Unity sidebar. This means it's not possible to identify (even by hovering over, which returns the label "Wine") what the Wine app open is, without scrolling through the windows.
  Even if these programs WERE separated, they'd all have the Wine icon, so the ability to tell what the programs are is STILL not there. (Query: Based on process name?)
