wine users - May 2009 - Games run, but i can always see desktop

Hey everyone

I run warcaft 3 under wine and the game works. However i can always see the
bottom and top taskbars. (im using Ubuntu 9.04). I have DISABLED the window
mode, and the problem still persists.

How can i run something in wine so that the game would completely overlay the
screen?

Forzen Throne working fine for me on Ubuntu 9.04 with Intel X3100 and
Warcraft 1.22 (1.23 has some issues under Wine... Battle.net works,
but it crashes when in menus for too long, and LAN is broken)

1. Graphics card? (nVidia seem to be recommended for use with Wine,
even though they do not help open-source drivers' development, their
drivers suck less (And/Or Wine seem to be better tested with and even
slightly targeted at their drivers...))

2. Have you followed the AppDb instructions on how to run it in OpenGL mode?

3. Have you disabled compiz? (Desktop effects)

  Same thing was happening with Oblivion so I set the panels to autohide. With
the new wine v1.1.20 it hasn't been a problem. Just one of those odd window
manager things, I guess.
