Bug Description
Binary package hint: wine
In the past programs loading into wine ran more quickly at start up. Now program loading under wine have a noticeable wait without any-feedback to the user that a process has actually been started. This typically results in the user clicking the icon again, making two instances of the application start, thereby making the problem worse.

Agreed, the program needs to either load quickly, some feedback needs to get to the user if the program will take a while, or at the very least it shouldn't spawn two copies if told to open a second time while the original is still loading. I'm not sure where the best place to solve this is, however - a D-bus message to the system from Wine saying "done loading" is one option, but then we'd have to tell the system to wait for that message somewhere else in the code.
