What will happen to my Wine?

Whoops! Wait. I just noticed something different, though it’s not a problem.

In the previous incarnation, WINE did not have it’s own icon on the dock while it was running. The most I’d have is a terminal window. It’s actually kind of better. I wonder why it’s happening.

Beyond that… I would love to figure out how to not launch a terminal window at all, but that’s for another day! :-)

Thanks, everyone! I seem to have been successful. 

Man it takes a long time to install WINE and Winetricks. ;-)
