Wine windows always on top?
When I run Windoze apps under Wine, I cannot get X apps (xterm and such) on top of any wine window. Wine windows are always sitting on top of everything else. Is that the intended behavior? It seems to me that some (fairly long) time ago it didn't behave this way. I'm running Motif WM (apparently the original one, not LessTif clone), RedHat Linux 6.1 -Slava

Re: Wine windows always on top?
Are you using the --managed option? This should make the window known to the window manager. If you are, then I'm at an immediate loss. From the man pages: --managed Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window instead of creating our own "sticky" win dow. I have exactly the same problem ...

Perhaps the question would have been better suited to the newsgroup. Ciao, Peter Hunnisett [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm running Motif WM (apparently the original one, not LessTif clone), RedHat Linux 6.1 -Slava While working on Managed mode issues in the Corel tree, we noticed that under Gnome (or at least some Window Managers under Gnome), all Managed windows are kept below all Unmanaged windows. Since most X apps use managed windows, unmanaged Wine windows will always remain on top. This means that when running Wine in unmanaged mode (without --desktop or --managed), the only workaround is to find a Window Manager that behaves differently (such as the one in KDE). Even in managed mode (--managed option), a number of windows are left unmanaged (with the override_redirect attribute) as a way of preventing window managers from adding decorations. The solution we implemented was to make toolwindows (those with extended style WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) managed but undecorated (using some window manager hints). With this change, only (mostly) menus and tooltips are left unmanaged (which they seem to be even in X apps). The people at Corel are planning to merge some of the Corel tree stuff back into the main Wine tree. I don't know if this will include these particular changes, since there are now very large differences in the managed mode support. Anyway, for those who want to see how it was done, most changes are in windows/x11drv/wnd.c, function X11DRV_CreateWindow(). (anyone wants to see the patch?)
