           Summary: Can't export virtual desktop registry settings
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.15
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Noticed a weird bug when setting up daily winetest. I wanted to test in a
virtual desktop, but using:

wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 program.exe

is impractical for obvious reasons. So I decided to use the registry key in the
registry. I enabled it in winecfg and used regedit to export the key, then the
same to import it each time. Regedit's .reg file is:
-------
REGEDIT4



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]

"Desktop"="Default"



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops]

"Default"="800x600"

-------

looks fine. But importing that fails. Curious, I ran diff on the .wine and
found that apparently regedit isn't exporting the full key:
-------
REGEDIT4



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer]

"Desktop"="Default"



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops] 1234567890

"Default"="800x600"

-------

Notice the timestamp. I suppose it's a regedit bug, but do we actually need
that timestamp? Looking at the diff more, seems it's also used in:
+[Software\\Wine\\Fonts] 1235641812
-[Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\External Fonts] 1235641855
+[Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\External Fonts] 1235641812

Does that really need to change each time winecfg is ran?

Importing the registry key allows the virtual desktop to work fine.
