I don't think it's an Ubuntu bug. Either: 1) FlashGot needs WINE to function and that's why WINE launches, in which case the makers of FlashGot need to recompile their software, or; 2) Firefox is triggering WINE when it doesn't need to (because Firefox is running the code itself), or; 3) WINE is opening a desktop when it needs to translate the FlashGot binary from the background.
However, it is *possible* that the error works like this: 4) Firefox opens a file (the FlashGot.exe) which it intends to run itself, and Ubuntu is calling WINE - in an attempt to "help" - when it is unneeded. I doubt it's #4, though, because that function should be handled by the desktop environment. I'm running KDE 3.5 (using Kubuntu 8.04). Unless we're *all* running KDE, then it's probably not a KDE problem *or* a Gnome problem. So I'd say look elsewhere. I don't know enough details at this point to be sure, though.
