Summary: cannot enable/disable "emulate a virtual desktop" setting per application Product: Wine Version: 0.9.56. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: erpo41@gmail.com
For some applications, such as StarCraft, it is necessary to enable the "Emulate a virtual desktop" setting. If this setting is not enabled, the application will not run.
For other applications, such as the UltraVNC viewer, it is convenient to disable the "Emulate a virtual desktop" setting. If this setting is not disabled, the application is cumbersome to use.
Running winecfg to switch this option on or off before launching each application is a real drag.
One solution to this problem would be to allow users to set the "Emulate a virtual desktop" preference on a per-application basis. A comment in Bug # 11078 makes it clear that this would be difficult or complicated to implement.
However, the problem still needs to be solved in some way.
