Because it's not a normal client using a gui toolkit (GTK in this case) like the other programs running on your linux desktop.auser wrote:I don't wonder if it works but how it works via wine especially if the major linux-guis lacks that behavior
It emulates (in the sense they reversed and rewritten) the windows API, so it just inherit the behavior you would expect from the GDI/Win32 API under windows and it uses the graphical primitives of x11 directly to recreate the windows gui, not a linux toolkit. Going down the chain the lowest stuff it's mapped to the equivalent stuff available in the linux kernel.
So: it's not a surprise a win exe does not suffer from the limitations discussed in this thread when executed on linux through wine.
