Summary: Own applications lose main window when switching virtual desktop Product: Wine Version: 1.1.3 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: felix.saphir@presswatch.de
This might be related to bug 2368: We have a couple of applications built with Delphi 5 Professional (on Windows) running on our server (CentOS and KDE) with the help of Wine. Everything was fine until (and including) wine-1.1.1.
After building wine-1.1.3 from source (nothing special: "configure --prefix=/usr/local/wine-1.1.3", make depend, make and make install), these applications lose their main window when switching the virtual desktop, while e.g. notepad.exe does not. Everything left is the "Wine System Tray". This does not happen, if I dont't "Allow the window manager to control the windows" (winecfg).
I did a regression test, ending up at revision "[31b4061c9b0b9b960346f047c3d7afa9afe092f4] winex11: Fetch the current X window position on ShowWindow resulting from a window manager event."
I know, this is not necessarily an issue with Wine, since I could probably fix our own apps as well (If I knew where to start looking ;-) ).
