--- Comment #21 from Leho Kraav (:macmaN @lkraav) leho@kraav.com 2012-10-24 10:20:22 CDT --- Thanks Alexandre for pointing me here with the duplicate
My workaround has been:
1. connect second, larger resolution monitor 2. run "xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto --above LVDS1 --primary" or equivalent 3. launch wine apps, like KeePass and Picasa3 4. maximize and un-maximize now work correctly, on both monitors, even when you connect and disconnect the external monitor
Obviously it's particularly enjoyable to be able to only launch new wine apps when the large monitor is connected.
I recall 1.5.11 or thereabouts receiving many xrandr works, but afaict it did not touch this issue either, so I've downgraded back to 1.4.1.
