--- Comment #13 from Jesse Allen the3dfxdude@gmail.com 2007-08-16 08:53:48 --- You missed the part, "If you can't run the game without virtual desktop," THEN "you need to find out why." Because I don't have bug 7174. It MAY be related to this problem. If I can't see either problem, then I can't research it.
For me as a user, buggy and working is much better than correct and not
working.
But Wine's goal is conformance to correct behavior. The patch is not going to be reversed. Running any full screen game in the virtual desktop is more like a hack anyway.
