Sorry for such a newbie question, I can't find anything in the FAQ but it drives me insane: I installed Wine and run StrongDC (a DC++ app). All works fine. Now I click on minimize and StrongDC disappears of the screen. How do I get it back? There is no entry in the task bar! I use xfce4 and tight VNC if you need to know. Thanks for any answer.

(It's on the graphics tab in winecfg.)

The virtual desktop worked, thanks! I do not know the normal behaviour of Wine apps, should it appear in the Linux taskbar? If so, I think this might be related to the bug you describe, as this is a Delphi application afaik. Thanks for the fast responses!
