Re: Skype 7 Wine 1.7.33
Not sure how much help I can be - but I see this is unanswered so far - so here goes.
Haven't had this problem with Skype, but I HAVE had the problem with other wine programs. The reason I don't have the problem with Skype is because I use the linux client directly - which works fine for me. I guess that may not be true for you.
The fix for the other program (of the two where I had the problem, one is still stuck, it's low priority atm) was in the registry. The software settings store the last position of the window - and I had to blow away the "form_left" value. The values were under hkey_users and hkey_current_users under software. You may have to do some registry exploring to find where Skype stores the last window size and position values - or contact their tech support and see if you can find somebody who knows where those values are stored. The Skype value names will likely be different. That is at least one possibility for what is wrong.
