Bug ID: 51048
           Summary: wine explorer /desktop=default,<resolution> does not
                    render a virtual desktop
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When executing any program through wine, and using the command line to generate
a virtual desktop, no virtual desktop will be created if it is named "default".

For example,

wine explorer /desktop=default,1920x1080 control

yields the control panel without a bordering desktop.

wine explorer /desktop=foo,1920x1080 control

creates the virtual desktop with the control panel within it correctly, and
names the virtual desktop "foo".

Capitalizations of "default" do not seem to make a difference.

Tested in Gentoo Linux, 2021, with vanilla wine 6.6

The "Default" name is special and means to use the default desktop
configuration, i.e. what was specified under the Winecfg graphics tab.

Thank you for the explanation.  I don't mean this to sound facetious, but are
there any other words that end-users should avoid when writing scripts that use
wine?  If it's documented, I never came across it.

The "root" desktop is also special, it can be used to force using the X11 root
window even if desktop mode is set as default. Yes, this could use some
documentation ;-)
