wine explorer /desktop doesn't work the first time

If I do:

rm -r ~/.wine/
wineprefixcreate
wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine

Then winemine opens in its own window. It does not open inside a fake
desktop, which is what explorer /desktop is supposed to do. However, if I
close winemine and run the same command again

wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine

I get the correct behavior the second time, and winemine appears inside a
desktop window provided by explorer.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Am I doing something wrong?

The only noninteractive workaround I can think of is to have a script to
run after wineprefixcreate that opens wine and immediately closes. How
can I make wine start and immediately close, noninteractively? Is there a
better solution?

Works fine for me in wine 0.9.59 and in git.

Then winemine opens in its own window. It does not open inside a fake
desktop, which is what explorer /desktop is supposed to do. However, if I
close winemine and run the same command again

wine explorer /desktop=default,1200x900 winemine

The only reason this can happen is when Wine was still running. You specifying the default desktop so if Wine was already running there was already "default" desktop.

I can reproduce this behavior even immediately following a reboot, so it's
slightly weirder than that. However, changing "default" to some other
string does solve the problem.

Thank you.
