Opening programs in seperate wine windows

Post by Xenome »

Im playing eve-online and in need of getting each game session to open in seperate wine windows. But what happens is they pop up in the same window effectivly al,ost making it impossible to run 2 accounts at the same time.

Odd thing is that earlier i could run as many instances of eve and they popped up in seperate windows as long as i selected the window mode in game and with a resolution. Now i only have a option of the highest resolution and the first window grabbs the next session.

Rig:
Dell XPS M1710 Laptop
7950GTX card
Ubuntu 8.04
All updates installed
Wine 1.1.5

Solutions please :)

But wouldn't the 3 lines you wrote mean me having 2 different icons? One for each window i want to open, before i needed just 1 icon and i could click that as many times as i wanted and it popped up into its own wine window. And also by doing this if i closed 1 window the second one also gets closed. Seems they are connected somehow.

Im a Ubuntu/Linux noob so might be i missunderstand :)
Thanx again.
