            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: P3

Hi,

the idea sound a little crazy but could be some nice enhancement to wines
usability. I run an dual screen system and when any programm get into
fullscreen
there are two ways system handle these, first way is to turn of the second
screen and only display at one or ignore that there are two screens and draw
into the center of virtual screen so a fat beam (the monitor borders) split the
app output in two parts. 

I like to run windows apps in the same space as my nativ apps and so I dislike
the
virtual desktop, but when launching games or other apps that like to fullscreen
then usally one of my screens turn off and I can't look at my other apps while
gaming, some of games allow window mode, but not all of them, so my enhancement
idea is to allow wine redirect fullscreen apps into an window like the virtual
desktop do, the window should be the size of the resolution the app likes to
set.

This shouldn't be the default behavior, but could activated in winecfg graphics
section.

regards Daniel
