    Move netflix-desktop window

    Hi everyone. I successfully installed netflix-desktop on my Ubuntu 13.04 machine.

    Unfortunately I don't have any window decoration (status bar, window header etc.) which means I can't move the window.
    I have two monitors and the window always pops up on my secondary screen. I would like to move it or at least to change the position of the window prior to execution.

    Does anybody have an idea where I could do that?

    Alt+click-and-drag will move the window.

    If you mean that it is in full screen mode, then I think you can press CTRL+F4 to change it to window mode.

    No, it is not fullscreen. it has approximately the size of the display though. The only way to close the application is a big X during browsing. Otherwise the window just embeds a wine emulated firefox with the silverlight extension.
    I tried to look through the wine-browser configs, but can't find anything that would change this behaviour. It is basically a border less window

    Sorry I gave you the wrong key combo in my last post; try pressing F11 and post back whether it has made any difference.

    You can tell Wine whether it should let the window manager decorate the windows. You can either run winecfg from the prefix that you're running Netflix with, or add the decoration option to the command part of your Netflix launcher.

    The problem is that the script is not calling wine, but wine-browser, which only offers options to enable debuggin and to allow addons
