KDE bar bleeding through into WINE games

[Enverex]

I'm trying to play games with WINE but it's either impossible or made annoyingly difficult because my KDE bar is still visible while playing games (it's ALWAYS there, on the intro videos, in games, on menus, etc, it actually seems to resize itself to make sure it fits every time too). I tried Gnome and the same is true there, the top and bottom bars in Gnome stay permanantly over the top of anything I run in WINE, even worse, it completely wrecks the layout of the bars in Gnome aswell.

I'd run things in a Window but I hate how the window ends up being in a corner or something and it drives me mad (wouldn't be so bad if it stayed centered like they are initially, but then when the window changes sizes it doesn't recenter, it's also not as immersive).

Does anyone know why this is happening, how to fix it or why WINE hasn't fixed it yet as it seems to have been around since 0.9.0.

Thanks,
Ex.

Do you have the panels set to hide?
If you do, then when you move the mouse to where it would show the panel on a normal desktop, it shows the panel

Try setting the window to be above all in the window menu at the top-left corner (ALT-Space)
You can make that permenant with special application settings
That fixes it on mine

No, the bar isn't set to autohide and Wine is running fullscreen and thus isn't a window therefore I can't set it to be above other windows.

From winecfg, disable "Allow the window manager to control the windows" - it's in the Graphics tab.
