Yes. I don't argue that testing on a visible desktop is a must. Some people are actually doing that, it seems. Or maybe that's just you alone... :) Anyway, I tried to make such results visually distinctive so that we shouldn't drop all the rest. Too bad it doesn't work.
figuring out why it doesn't work is completely useless IMO, since the results of the tests running on an invisible desktop can't be used for a reasonable comparison.
I see your point, even if find it a bit strong. Ivan's suggestion is nice, but that requires a probably not so trivial change in winrash. I wonder if Chris will do it.
What change do you want? The ability for winetest to be able to interact with the desktop? I've tried enabling this before but it didn't seem to have any effect. I've been quite busy lately and haven't had the time to keep on on winrash development. I'd like to turn over maintenance on winrash to someone else, if anyone is interested feel free to email me and I can set you up as an admin on the project.
