           Summary: wine uses dual-screen, confines non-wine progs to one
                    screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.58.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jrle1 at twcny.rr.com


I have a dual-screen (nvidia twinview) setup, with icewm window manager,
running debian lenny and wine 0.9.58.  Normally my taskbar is at the bottom of
one screen on one monitor.  The other, second, screen on the second monitor is
"above" the first screen on the first monitor.  

When I start wine - any wine program, and even just running winecfg, I have
full access to both screens ***for the wine program***.  

Alas, while giving itself full dual-screen access, wine moves my taskbar to the
bottom of the second screen and completely deprives me of access to the first
screen for non-wine programs.  The desktop itself and all non-wine programs are
confined to the second screen.

The only way I have found to get back to my normal dual-screen setup after
starting wine is to log out of X and back in.
