Thanks so much! Having this option in the registry would be perfect.

I am unfortunately not in a position to put a complete Wine tree and space for
compilation on my MacBook, so I cannot test reverting a single commit.
Hopefully, when I get a new Mac over the summer I will have space for it and
the time to learn how that works. But I hope it will not be very complex to
pick up this request, and that you will not struggle with the Mac driver until
summer.

I was also thinking that there is some consistency of expectations involved: If
I can cmd-tab, I would want to be able to se the application I cmd-tabbed to.
And in Mac applications, it is usually possible to do this. In some ways, this
is what I used in the functionality of the virtual desktop that was in the
XQuartz driver.

Conversely, if the app will not let me show anything else, I shouldn't be able
to cmd-tab out of it. This is like the old fullscreen behaviour in XQuartz and
would mimic Windows behaviour better, but it also makes getting out of anything
that crashes more difficult, and kills any multi-tasking possibilities (and as
much as it may improve immersion, I personally think this behaviour is a relic
of MSDOS times).

And before I forget again: Thanks for all your hard work on the Mac driver. I
am very pleased with it, and it matured impressively quickly.
