Okay.

Yes, create a script and put it to a public place that does start your application, like /usr/bin/app.sh.

Yes, there seems to be no app for unix-default.

You need to start a custom session (i.e. xterm or your app.sh, then DEFAULT_X_WM is used, not in the unix-default case.

Another idea is to put the following in app.sh (make it executable via chmod a+x):

--
#!/bin/sh

fluxbox &
wine C:\\myapp.exe
wait # wait for fluxbox to stop
--

or

--
#!/bin/sh

fluxbox &
PID=$!
wine C:\\myapp.exe
kill $PID # kill fluxbox after wine app is closed.
--

Then it starts both ...
