Dear Wine developers, I am attempting to package Wine for OLPC. My goal is to enable packaging individual windows programs into OLPC "Activity bundles" with wine. I have encountered a handful of problems along the way. One of them is bug #12507, for which I have sent a patch. A few others are:
- Decorations on the Desktop window.
I am running in Desktop mode, because this provides the best integration with the OLPC operating system. However, the desktop window has decorations on it, which I do not want. I want the desktop to be a fullscreen window. It seems that recent patches to x11drv may make this possible, but I could find no way in 0.9.59.
What should I do to run the Desktop as a full-screen window, or as a normal window without decorations?
- Non-ownership of .wine/
The OLPC security system is designed to run each program under a different unix uid, as a form of lightweight sandboxing. My system is set up to create a .wine/ directory the first time the program is run. The second time the application is run, it doesn't work because the .wine directory is owned b a different user, so I get "path/.wine is not owned by you". I have tried doing "chmod a+rwx" to .wine/ on the first run, but Wine still refuses to run, even though it has full access, because it's not the owner.
Would you consider patches to exchange the uid check for a rwx access check?
No, that check was added to keep users from running Wine as root.
