An 800x600 wine virtual desktop window inside a larger X screen is what I
constantly use, as that has given me best results over the years, with various
apps.  Otherwise, some (old) apps may cause the X display to flicker, change
resolution (IIRC) or other weirdness; iconification in X produces very strange
results, often enough the app terminates instead of recovering (lacking a
"restore window" functionality). Using a desktop prevents all these graphical
effects: the apps just sit there and know nothing about other resolutions and X
windows. Also, I can iconify the desktop, while some apps (e.g. winecfg) do not
provide an icon button.  All in all, the virtual desktop gives me the best
environment, except when full-screen makes sense (for some games or regedit's
large window).

<feature-request ;>Alas, I cannot set per app full-screen preferences.
Otherwise, I'd let regedit and selected games open full-screen, keeping the
virtual desktop default for most other apps.

I was using .9.15 for comparison because I happen to have it in a separate
directory.  Whereas .38, .36, .31 .28 get overwritten each time I upgrade via
bzcat diffs.bz2 | patch -p1.

BTW, I've never had the winecfg toggle "allow window manager to control
windows" have any observable effect. I typically have it set.
