Bug ID: 58105 Summary: explorer creates extra virtual desktop when using the /desktop=shell argument Product: Wine Version: 10.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: hibbsncc1701@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 78363 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=78363 Picture of extra shell window.
FYI: There's no explorer component in bugzilla. So I've put this under unknown. Is there a better component for this? (There *is* an explorerframe component, but that seems too specific for including virtual desktops, as the description seems to be limited to just the windows7+ taskbar.)
In a wine prefix with virtual desktops enabled, using the /desktop=shell argument to start explorer, when no other wine processes are running, causes wine to produce two virtual desktop windows.
The first virtual desktop is the configured via virtual desktop setting in winecfg, which remains empty.
The second virtual desktop is the requested shell desktop that contains the taskbar and start menu.
Shouldn't the /desktop=shell argument check to see if a desktop already exists and if not just create one desktop?
If this is a case of reused functionality, maybe the code that added the "enable taskbar / start menu" checkbox to winecfg could be upstreamed as a fix? (It was written during code freeze, but didn't cause this bug, maybe it could be revisited now?)
