I have a few full screen applications that I'd like to run contained in small windows. Currently, in order to run them this way, I have to either open winecfg and set a virtual desktop or launch the application on the terminal with: wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 app.exe
What I'd like is something that does this for me similar to app defaults. That way I could run the application by double clicking it (or from the shortcut in the start menu) and have it contained in the window I want.
Ideally I'd be able to enable this setting from a right click->properties menu, however that work isn't necessarily needed within Wine other than support for modifying this new key using something like reg.exe on the terminal.
It seems like it'd be fairly simple to implement, too. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
There was a similar request in a bug a few weeks ago. Someone made the comment that since Windows's explorer doesn't support this, we can't, even though running it on a per-app basis with the 'wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 app.exe" workaround allows it to work. I asked for an explanation in the bug, but received no response (I can't find the bug off hand, I'll keep looking).
