OK, I got Battery's GUI to come up when I run it in desktop mode. From
Wine's config file:

"Managed" = "Y"
; Use a desktop window of 640x480 for Wine
"Desktop" = "1024x768"

When it first comes up I get a small window with the mute and bypass
buttons. When I resize that larger then I see the Battery GUI. This is
with wine-20041019. All 8 outputs show up correctly in QJackConnect.
So far so good. However, it dies a horrible death when I try to load
the first drum kit. The managed desktop shifts its name and is now
displaying '/usr/lib/fst.so', which is probably sensible if we had
access to one of the developers. I see this in the terminal where I
run:


flash Battery $ jack_fst /home/mark/.wine/drive_c/Battery/Battery.dll 
The program 'jack_fst' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 8578 error_code 8 request_code 12 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
flash Battery $ 


At least this is headway. It comes as soon as I tell the file dialog
to load the drum kit.

I think Torben will be intested in this. We've been a bit stuck for
the last week or two trying to debug this. Finally we have some new
information.

Cheers,
Mark
