Virtual Desktop only for parent process?

KentonBomb · Post by **KentonBomb** » Sun May 25, 2008 8:26 pm

I have a small question regarding the "Virtual Desktop" feature of Wine. The question is if I have a shortcut to run a process in a virtual desktop, it automatically makes all processes spawned from that process to appear in the Wine Virtual Desktop window as well. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck with it?

It's not like it's the end of the world, but it's something that I would like to be able to get around.

Thanks,

You might try setting the child processes to not be in a desktop in
winecfg. Not sure if it'll work or not.
