Without virtual desktop with "Allow the window manager to control the windows": Game minimizes to top left leaving a "dead" game screen (screenshot here: http://img241.imageshack.us/i/ddocrashkb9.png/ ). Game can be restored by double clicking top left, mousing off and back on then double clicking top left again. Simply double clicking results in an unresponsive but active game screen.
This doesn't happen using Fluxbox. With or without "Allow the window manager to control the windows" the game minimizes to the bottom left and restores just the same.
I don't think these patches are causing any of the problems I'm seeing, they just removed the workaround I was using.
Aside from the game minimizing when focus is regained instead of when lost it's behaving pretty much as it would in windows, it just happens I don't want it to behave like that so need some way to override it.
