--- Comment #8 from Forest winehq@tibit.com --- Stefan, I tried running some games with "emulate virtual desktop" at the size of my real screen, and it did get rid of the auto-minimize behavior, but created to new problems:
It temporarily filled my screen with a Windows desktop while starting the games. This didn't really break the game, but it sure was ugly, and IMHO a step backwards in terms of integration.
For games that don't run at my desktop's native resolution, it ran the game in a window, defeating the purpose of running full-screen. (I guess this is what you expected would happen.)
