wine users - Dec 2007 - wine proccess list

Hello to all.

I have something in mind that I would like to ask to Wine developers.
Is it possible using a hack/trick or a hidden option to change the  
name of wine in the proccess lists?
I mean, Is it possible to list 'wine' proccess as, for example  
'iexplorer' when I use Internet Explorer under Wine?

Thanks a lot for your work, hope my question find the answer here.

This is done since quite some time. apps are usually called
"iexplore.exe", or
they have the name of the file that was passed to wine, like C:\Program 
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

If you still see "wine", "wineloader" or something similar
you have a very
outdated version of wine.

While this isn't a Wine specific question, you'd have to write your  
own executable-launcher. None of the shells I'm aware of allow to  
tweak argv[0]. The hearth of a custom launcher would be an execve()  
system call, see "man execve" on what it does.
