Has anyone tried "Playing Multiple instances of Game or any Applications?" I use to run multiple wines and always had this problem of wine minimizing a window when you opened a new one or even click the Desktop. After it minimized I couldn't get it to unminimize.

I found some sources for my problem.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that experiences Diablo II shrinking to the minimum possible window size when a second client is opened. There is a solution for this, and it is quite simple although it will take up a large amount of Harddrive space because essentially the only way I've found to do this is to copy the .wine folder and rename it. Here are the steps:

But these links couldn't help me. I tryed both of them, and when I open two different wine applications it still minimizes one of them.
