[Bug 1103833] Re: Wine's icon and description appears for all Windows applications

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention that for my workaround (see previous comment)
to function you need shortcut.exe from
http://optimumx.com/downloads.html#Shortcut somewhere in your Wine path
(like windows/system32). This little tool "allows you to create, modify
or query Windows shell links (shortcuts) from the command-line". It's
been a useful addition to my Wine toolbox for so long that I forgot it's
not part of Wine itself. It should be (but with a less clumsy DOSish
syntax).

My apologies for the noise.

Bug description:
  If I start an application using Crossover (or Wine), the application will always be the Wine Logo instead of the application logo. This is the same independent of the application being run or using Wine instead of Crossover.
  That makes sense if the application has no logo, but it gets confusing running multiple Microsoft Office programs - and all of them have the same logo.
  The hint text for the icon is also "Wine Windows Program Loader" instead of "Document 1 - Microsoft Word" as it should be.
  Unity does not seem to allow Wine/Crossover to use application icons and title text.

  I have confirmed that this issue does NOT occur in Gnome Classic, and
  is only a Unity flaw.
