Hi
I got a problem with wine. I selected emulate a virtual desktop with resolution of 1680 x 1050 and when i run it always still shows the top and bottom panels (bars) any ideas

winw 1.1.16 ubuntu 8.04

Just a guess, but it may be because you are using a Development version of WINE, as opposed to the stable release (v1.0.1).

But, as a possible workaround for you, have you heard of x.game?

It is a script that essentially creates a new Xserver for your application to run in, so if you want to run it in isolation from the rest of your desktop, you can! without the need to have it in it's own emulated desktop.
