--- Comment #1 from Stefan Dösinger stefandoesinger@gmx.at 2007-10-03 13:28:03 --- First of all, I am not the expert in this topic, I only have some half knowledge, but I think this is what's going on here:
I don't know why you get a BadMatch error, but there is a deeply rooted problem here: Windows has only one desktop, from the problem description it sounds like you're trying to run applications on two different desktops at the same time. You need a multi-head setup which merges the two monitors to one big desktop insted of one.
The problem is that Windows applications expect their windows to be able to see each other. This works on X11 as well, but only on the same DISPLAY. With two desktops, you have two DISPLAYs: localhost:0.0 and localhost:0.1.
To fix this, you have to use Xinerma, or mergedfb, or something simmilar. Alternatively, you can try to use two different WINEPREFIXes to separate the applications. Or you persuade Microsoft to include support for that in the next revision of the Win32 API design, and get all old applications fixed to deal with that.
Can someone with better knowledge confirm if that is right, and propably close the bug as WONTFIX? I am also not sure if the critical severity applies here.

So I am saying that it is a bug - it should run at least on the same virtual wine desktop or run ANOTHER virtual desktop on second head (desktop).

--- Comment #3 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org 2007-10-03 13:34:49 --- Yes it's a bug, multiple X displays in the same session are not support at the moment. You may be able to work around it by explicitly starting a new desktop on the second display, something like 'explorer /desktop=foo myapp.exe'.
