Using Wine with xfce

First let me say to those developers of xfce listening:
thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gnome/Metacity just comes up so short compared to XFCE/xfwm4 for me,
if only for the B5 theme.  I use Fedora and it would be nice if xfce
were a first class citizen but not a battle I want to wage.  If any
Fedora developer are listening, please consider this message one vote
for XFCE as a first class citizen.  The extras repo works, bottom
line, so if that's all there is, so be it.

Now for the issue: I recently installed the codeweavers Wine product
which integrated itself nicely into Gnome but is not integrated into
the xfce environment at all.  At this point, I will drill into finding
the executables and creating launchers but if someone else has already
cracked this nut, it would be good to know.  And it would only be
appropriate for me to contribute something back to the xfce org if it
turns out that I am blazing this particular trail.

Thanks,

-pmr
