As I recall, that's what I did, after starting Ecco normally (which in
my case, is via the Xfce4-panel Whisker menu in which I have Ecco listed
as a "Favorite, along with a few of the other applications I use daily).
If I understand you correctly, I have to open EE which then opens Ecco.
However, the Xfce4-panel Whisker menu does not provide me with an EE
icon to make as a favorite. This means I must use my file navigator to
open EE, which is somewhat less convenient but no big deal.

First of all, unlike M$ Windows, Linux distros allow the use of a
multitude of Desktop Environments. In other words, the range of choices
is far greater. In my case however, I have settled on either Openbox
(which is NOT a full DE) to which I add the Xfce4-panel and several of
the widgets that can be linked to it. In other cases (when Openbox is
not an option that is offered), I install the full Xfce environment.
The Ecco icon DOES in fact appear in the notifications section of my
lower Xfce4-panel here in 64 bit Sparky Openbox, and by right clicking
on it I get a menu with a dozen options and by left clicking on it, Ecco
either opens and closes or disappears and appears.
Each of the dozen menu items shows a number of additions choices so it
appears to me that EE is fully functional in Debian under Wine.
For instance, I can make the Shooter (which I do not use) appear and
disappear, without going into the
tools menu.
I have to do some other things at the moment, but could follow up on
this later.
