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. Any other
thoughts?
