problem with apps in desktop mode

[Rok Mandeljc]

When I try running InstallShield in windowed mode ("Desktop" = "640x480"
as per default in config), window appears for a second and then
dissapears printing this message:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  93
  Current serial number in output stream:  98

Did latest modifications of x11drv break anything?

I have little investigated it, seems a unvalided drawable on SetWindowPos ;(

That's because desktop window is not shared between processes. Fixing this
is one of the aims of the scheduled window management rewrite.

The patch that caused the regression is:
http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?root=/home/winehq/opt/cvs-commit&id=8265

Unless it is safe to let InstallShield apps out of their "Desktop" 
prison, this really needs fixing.

Reversing the patch works for me, but I'm not absolutely clear what it 
was trying to solve, and there may be a less drastic solution.
