Program doesn't take into account size of taskbar
I'm running PCLOS 7 (which uses KDE) on my laptop with 1024x768 resolution.
I'm trying to run Irfanview under wine. Irfanview has been reviewed here:
Wine Review: IrfanView 4.10 on Linux with Wine
without noting any issues.
My complaint is that whenever I open an image bigger than the desktop resolution, the Irfanview window extends all the way to the edge of the screen, i.e. behind the taskbar. (Thus the scroll bar is off the visible window area.) If I click on the fullscreen button (middle button of the 3 on the top right, as on any window), Irfanview moves to the correct position (bottom edge just above the taskbar), but I dislike having to do this every time I open an image. Irfanview correctly accounts for the taskbar when run in Windows XP.
(FYI, I do *not* auto-hide the taskbar.)
I have found that I can somewhat get around this by the following:
wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x700 i_view32.exe
But this has the effect of placing Irfanview inside a special wine desktop window, which isn't entirely satisfactory. For example, Irfanview can be used to open multiple instances of itself as an "external editor", but if it is inside a wine desktop then all the instances still reside inside this desktop, so I do not get separate taskbar icons for the separate instances.
Does anyone know of any other way I can make a program like Irfanview think the screen has different dimensions, maybe by invoking it from within a script with some environment variable changed or something, so it won't extend to behind the taskbar when it runs?
(One more thing to note - I'm not sure if this happens with any other wine programs because I don't run very many, and the few others I've tried are all smaller than the desktop so I wouldn't see this problem.)
