           Summary: cannot enable/disable "emulate a virtual desktop"
                    setting per application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.56.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: erpo41 at gmail.com


For some applications, such as StarCraft, it is necessary to enable the
"Emulate a virtual desktop" setting. If this setting is not enabled, the
application will not run.

For other applications, such as the UltraVNC viewer, it is convenient to
disable the "Emulate a virtual desktop" setting. If this setting is not
disabled, the application is cumbersome to use.

Running winecfg to switch this option on or off before launching each
application is a real drag.

One solution to this problem would be to allow users to set the "Emulate a
virtual desktop" preference on a per-application basis. A comment in Bug #
11078 makes it clear that this would be difficult or complicated to implement.

However, the problem still needs to be solved in some way.
