wine users - Dec 2006 - controlling an apps screen size and/or borders

I am running PPTVIEW.EXE (power point viewer).

I want to control how it shows up on the screen, different everytime I 
run it.
By default it goes fullscreen no borders.

I now run:

wine explorer /desktop=default,800x600 PPTVIEW.EXE file.ppt

and I get a 800x600 window with borders - How can I not have any borders???

When I run

wine explorer /desktop=root,800x600 PPTVIEW.EXE file.ppt

I get a fullscreen 1600x1200 window.

I am just trying to control what PPTVIEW.EXE thinks it has as a screen size.
I want the full screen behavior (no borders) but make it think the 
screen is
only 800x600.

How do I do that? I need to use the command line as it will be different 
for every
time it is run.

Thanks,

Jerry

I don't really know how to do this by the command line; however, you can do
it rather easily with modifications of your ~/.wine/user.ref if you know
sed: in ~/.wine/user.reg, there is a key

[Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver] 1167518730
"Desktop"="640x480"
"DXGrab"="Y"
"Managed"="Y"

that tells wine to run in desktop mode, and the resolution it will use; you
can easily alter this line with sed (for example,
sed
's/"Desktop"="[^"]*"/"Desktop"="(your
resolution)"/').

(By the way, you most probably won't get 1167518730 on the X11 driver line
in ~/.wine/user.reg, this value seems to be changing regularly)
