WINE is just a compatibility layer, so no such option.
It integrates your Windows programs/games with Linux/MacOS/Unix (BSD,openBSD,etc) it's not a "virtual" desktop type thing.

Although I do appreciate the reminder of how to do it in WinXP.
It's been 3+ years since I had XP on a PC.
All the other PCs in the house (none of them mine) are all 7 and newer.

At this point seems like the Virtual machine with the GPU pass-through (thereby allowing the "virtual" OS to "see" the physical hardware) running an older version of the OS, is the best option. Pending a bugfix.
