I have this problem with Sacred 2: Ice & Blood (the Gold version), but can't
reproduce it with the official demo of Sacred2: Fallen Angel v1.0.0.

When I start the game in virtual desktop mode the loading/initialization screen
is displayed correctly but the game is minimized to icon size when the first
intro video is playing. If I double click on the Sacred2.exe icon then the game
is restored to fullscreen but the screen remains black.

In fullscreen mode the game is minimized to the upper panel in XFCE when the
intro video is playing, clicking on it restores it to fullscreen.

Both virtual desktop mode and Wine's fullscreen mode behaved differently in
previous Wine versions, and reverting the following commit on 1.7.25 fixes the
issue for me:

I tested this bug under XFCE 4.10, Gnome 3 and Openbox window managers.
The problem doesn't exist if I start the game in windowed mode.
The problem occurs if the size of the VD is the same as the resolution the game
is running at. If I set up a VD sized 1024x768 but let the game run @1440x900
the problem doesn't happen: the loading screen is displyed in 1024x768 then the
game switches to 1440x900 (without the aforementioned black screen issue).

Please let me know if you need a debug log or further tests.
