Known Bugs
A title is blank for Wine's application tray icons
The tray icon window created by Wine isn't set a title. Additionally, The process that created window is not the application itself, but exeplorer.exe. So we can't get any information for the tray icon.
There is the patch for Wine to work-around this issue.
