--- Comment #38 from Mike i_am_nitrogen@hotmail.com 2008-09-24 16:49:29 --- I'm adding my vote for fixing this bug. Pressing Alt-Tab (or Meta-Tab on some keyboards) to switch away from a fullscreen game, such as Warcraft 3 or Starcraft, that sets its own resolution, leaves the desktop set at that resolution.
Here are some simple steps to follow: Legally obtain/borrow a Starcraft CD from someone Run Starcraft (it uses a 640x480 resolution) Press Alt-Tab The GNOME/KDE/etc. desktop is at the resolution set by the game
I liked the behavior way back when Wine used XF86VM instead of XRandR to change resolutions. I don't want wine to change my desktop resolution, which is what XRandR does. I want it to create a window that's the appropriate size, and change the viewport resolution and position to match the window (which is what XF86VM does). When I press Alt-Tab, and the app running under wine loses focus, the resolution should be restored.
If this is a WM problem, and every major WM on the planet has the problem, then it's probably wine's job to work around it.
