Is that possible ? e.g run notepad.exe in console(not in WM) and it runs in background without creating windows in VM
run gui applications without window manager so they stay in background(no need input from user)

Re: Running GUI applications in background
No this is impossible. Wine required valid X session for all GUI apps.biGGer wrote:Is that possible ? e.g run notepad.exe in console(not in WM) and it runs in background without creating windows in VM

Running GUI applications in background
There might be at least two ways for this...
One is with cmdow.exe, http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/
Syntax would be cmdow /run /hid process.exe - could also be written
into a batch file.
Another is with the Windows Cron port,
http://www.kalab.com/freeware/cron/cron.htm - Cron runs everything
windowless.
or something like old Norton Commander scheduler, which allowed running
apps as hidden/systray-iconised.
