    [SOLVED] Virtual Desktop

    I like to game with wine, but I have utorrent, I can't find anything better, its just too good.

    Now I have a question is there a way to run utorrent without virtual desktop and the games can run in virtual desktop. I did before but I don't know how. It just happened by itself (I know that's not possible, but I think i was messing with something else and I inadvertently did it).

    Re: Virtual Desktop

    There are several ways to do this.

    One of them is to tell wine to run in a virtual desktop in the command line (leaving NO VIRTUAL DESKTOP as default)

    Code:
    wine explorer /desktop=name_of_desktop,1024x768 MyApp.exe
    Another way is to tell wine to default to a virtual desktop by checking the appropriate box in the video tab of winecfg
    Code:
    $ winecfg


    winecfg can also be setup to put on a virtual desktop for a specific application. It's the same as the above method, except that you have to create a "profile" for your app first, and highlight it.
