Steam should work OK, without the need to run it in a virtual desktop, and is very well supported in Wine 1.3.22+ (I am one of the Steam client AppDB maintainers). There should be no need to run it in a Virtual Desktop - unless you are using a broken Desktop Manager like Metacity (which doesn't render the Window correctly). I refer you to a recent thread (please ignore my biased comments on it 8) ): steam stop as soon as it's started (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=12571) Installing the samba package (in Synaptic) should pull in you missing winbind dependency. I would recommend using (once you have satisfied the native Linux package dependencies like winbind): Code: winetricks steam This command line code will use the Winetricks package to install the Steam client automagically. The Steam client will install in it's own prefix (I think it's ~/.share/wineprefixes/steam - or something similar...) and install necessary fonts, etc. The Steam client will then run using your installed Wine version (ideally this should be quite recent 1.3.x).
