--- Comment #44 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-04-28 15:21:28 --- *** Bug 18212 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
--- Comment #45 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-08-10 19:32:23 --- A lot of people reporting the same problem for a lot of apps - moving to major. Source available for VirtualDub.
--- Comment #46 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2009-08-10 21:44:44 --- This is a trivial GUI problem nothing major about it.
--- Comment #47 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2009-08-11 06:02:29 --- S103, VirtualDub 1.7 and Quicktime are unusable, the make all the other apps on a system unusable too. Certainly not minor.
--- Comment #48 from Ronny Standtke Ronny.Standtke@gmx.net 2009-08-11 07:12:25 --- The definition of major is: "Major loss of functionality for a wide range of applications", see http://bugs.winehq.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance
I can confirm that a wide range of applications is broken because of this issue, e.g. every application where Quicktime is used destroys the user desktop. Unfortunately, there are a lot of such applications.
--- Comment #49 from Stefan Dösinger stefandoesinger@gmx.at 2009-08-11 08:10:17 --- The apps that blank the screen that way are broken in some form - what they're doing is not compatible with composited desktops. Vista disables Aero in that case.
A workaround for those apps that are still maintained, like QuickTime, is to set winver=vista - that way they'll use an alternate, more sane codepath. QuickTime for example uses d3d9 for drawing instead of DirectDraw rendering to the desktop window.
--- Comment #50 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2009-08-11 08:47:55 --- Minor - For minor loss of functionality, or other problem where an *easy workaround is present* (virtual desktop). Trivial - For a UI glitch that doesn't affect running of a program Does "blanking the screen" affect running the actual program? - No.

Minor - For minor loss of functionality, or other problem where an *easy workaround is present* (virtual desktop). Trivial - For a UI glitch that doesn't affect running of a program Does "blanking the screen" affect running the actual program? - No.
Not all programs have a workaround. E.g., programs that haven't made a Vista version.
