Package: wine
Version: 0.9.11-1
Severity: normal
After running Dune 2000 with Wine (which switches back to 800x600 or so,
I'm normally using 1600x1200), all windows that were on my desktop are
suddenly in the top left corner, as if the WM (Metacity) tried to place
them in the 800x600 window or something.
This is really quite annoying!

Well, you could try to use winecfg to disable XRandR or something, then
that shouldn't happen.
I could not find that, but I did find the option to let it used a
Windowed desktop.
That's not the same thing. I doubt you want that option.
If XRandR is not in winecfg these days for some reason, see if you can
disable it by editing the registry manually (edit .wine/user.reg, or use
regedit or something), I think it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11
Driver\UseXRandR, you can search for more information on the net.
Thanks for your suggestion though. On the other hand: isn't this just a
bug? I never saw the problem for other software that siwtches to full
screen.
Those don't use XRandR. They use XF86VidMode. (Wine should use that
automatically if you disable XRandR - if not, it's the UseXVidMode setting.)
I think the Wine devs would argue that it's the fault of the desktop
that it doesn't restore the desktop properly when restoring the original
resolution using XRandR. That's probably a controversial stance, and
personally I think it's a bit unfortunate to use XRandR by default, as
that extension is really designed for permanent resolution switches, not
temporary ones (and the desktop responds accordingly). But that's the
way they've chosen to do things now, and hopefully the desktops learn to
cope, or the Wine authors change their mind about their defaults.
