Hi,

(Using Ubuntu 8.04, GNOME desktop, Wine 1.0)

This is a question about virtual desktop mode.

When the virtual desktop window is minimised then restored, or brought to the
front after being covered by another window, Wine appears to tell the Windows
applications to refresh their windows. (At least, on my old slow system I
notice buttons etc. being redrawn - restoring the virtual desktop window is not
instantaneous.) Is that correct? Surely it would be better for compatibility
and speed if Wine caches the whole virtual desktop bitmap when the window is
not visible, so it can be instantly displayed when the virtual desktop window
is restored/revealed. Could some Windows programs assume that if they are the
only window on the desktop, that they don't need to refresh their window
imagery?
