Description
Applications running in wine show the incorrect icon in the taskbar. Instead of showing the running application in wine they just show the wine Windows icon. They show the correct icon in the menu because the correct icon is listed in the .desktop file at ~/.local/share/applications.
I'm using LinuxMint 17.1 Cinnamon and this wasn't an issue when I was using the MATE desktop. This issue was previously closed but it is not fixed as several other people left comments after it was closed but apparently didn't create a new thread. This is a real PITA for those of us who have to run several Windows apps at once along with Firefox, file manager and Gedit etc. I have spent hours reading and trying different things to no avail.

Research direction
The issue names no Cinnamon source file or test; begin by reproducing the Wine taskbar behavior on the reported Linux Mint setup and inspect the application entry at ~/.local/share/applications. Done means a running Wine application uses its listed application icon in the taskbar rather than the generic Wine Windows icon, while retaining the correct menu icon.
