Summary: "Desktop" configuration variable broken Product: Wine Version: 0.9 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: zarquon@t-online.de
The new, winecfg-based version of the "Desktop" variable in the x11drv section is broken: it doesn't behave like a full X11 geometry specifier anymore, i.e. you can only enter stuff like "800x600", but not "800x600-10+79". This behaviour was also documented as such in older releases (e.g. 20041201):
[...] (adding a geometry, e.g. <literal>800x600</literal> for a such-sized desktop, or even <literal>800x600+0+0</literal> to automatically position the desktop at the upper-left corner of the display). [...]
The old behaviour was extremely useful to me, doesn't hurt people who don't want to use it and it shouldn't be hard to reanimate, so please return to the old semantics ASAP.
