I'm having some trouble getting all my wines programs to work together. When I change workspace or minimize dvd decrypter it disappears but is still running in the background, this is fixed by running it in an emulated desktop but I would like to have it working without the emulated desktop. When I have dvd decrypter in an emulated desktop and autogk running if i close dvd decrypter it closes all wine apps. I think wine shuts down everything when its emulated desktop is closed. I'm new to Ubuntu so any advice would be much appreciated.

well that's a wine bug. it should be fixed by now. but i can't find the relevant information. check http://www.winehq.org/ for better information.

check out this bug report.Bug 13393. it says it's fixed in 1.1.35

Updated to the newest version having some new problems now when i minimize dvd decrypter it doesn't disappear but once I maximize it the arrow to minimize it disappears allowing me to only minimize it one time autogk also does this

why don't you simply use dvd:rip?. it's native Linux and it has nice GUI.

working now will try dvd:rip seems more logical to use something native to Linux
