work

I have got the same problem while playing Warcraft III.
The window became frozen after minimizing it.
And there are unable to do something except to terminate the game.

This bug appears only using KDE 4.4.4 and kwin as default window manager.
I tested it with openbox and openbox-kde-session and there everything works
fine.
Probably it is common problem of kwin and wine.

// wine 1.2-rc3

Warcraft III is definitely affected by this bug.
In the wine-1.2 + KDE-4.4.2 it is in fact impossible to reanimate its window
after alt+tab switch or minimize - it just hangs.
With the reverse patch from here applied, the Warcraft III window can be
restored always or almost always with kwin effects disabled, though it seems
still unrestorable with kwin enabled.
However, even when the window is restored, the desktop panels usually overlap
the game picture. I can further correct it by calling the window menu (alt+F3)
and forcing the window to become fullscreen (regardless it is in the fullscreen
mode already).

As a workaround it worked for me to build a start-script for WoW like this:

wine explorer /desktop=<VIRTUAL_DESKTOP_NAME>,<X_RESOLUTION>x<Y_RESOLUTION>
PATH_TO_PROGRAM

for example:
wine explorer /desktop=wow,1280x1024 /home/xyz/.wine/drive_c/Programme/World\
of\ Warcraft/Wow.exe

Got this from this discussion:

> wine explorer /desktop=<VIRTUAL_DESKTOP_NAME>,<X_RESOLUTION>x<Y_RESOLUTION>

emulating virtual desktop can be set for .exe in winecfg as well,
but , in my opinion, fullscreen visual is more appealing

checked with KDE 4.5.4 , WOW 3.3.5a (cannot upgrade yet to 4.0.x) and wine
1.3.9
still cannot restore WoW window after minimizing

Please guys see my comment #22 and #23 for the bug 23745 and check whether that
KDE workaround works for you here. I expect it should.

Playing with window options did not helped for WoW 3.3.5a / Wine 1.3.12 + git
2011-01-26 (wine-1.3.12-82-g72e089d)

So i'm still using reverse patch to play.

When Gentoo KDE maintainers will push KDE 4.6.0 into ~ tree, i'll recheck with
KDE 4.6.0

Workaround #23 worked fine with WoW 3.3.5a / Wine 1.3.12 and kde
4.5.95-0ubuntu1~maverick~ppa1. I also had to force "size" to have kdetaskbar
below window.

Having the same problem.
Wine64 1.3.24
Wine32 1.3.24
KDE 4.6.5

What I can do is to switch to Windowed Mode; then I can Alt-Tab and minimize,
then return to Fullscreen Mode.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years.
Is this still an issue in current (1.7.7 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
the terminal output in 1.7.7 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

As i dont play this game anymore , i cannot reproduce, nor even try to
reproduce this bug with never versions
I ve used reverse patch as long as i played.

You can proudly close and report this bug as 'fixed' as you always do.
I'd better say - 'timed out'.
