= GAMES OF INTEREST TO SANITY-CHECK WHENEVER BEHAVIOR IS CHANGED =

  • Defcon: Has two windows, one of them with a parent; does modeswitches by directly sending X protocol; hooking Xilb functions won't work
  • Duke3D Megaton: Same
  • Long Live the Queen: Same but toplevel window isn't override-redirect
  • The Bard's Tale: Its only window is override redirect.
  • Duke3D Megaton - classic: Doesn't animate in the setup if keyboard isn't pressed; two windows.
  • Aquaria: tries to do modeswitches through Xrandr, is real fullscreen instead of windowed
  • Wizardry 7: two windows at startup because of dosbox splashscreen; no animation during startup sequence
  • Trine 2: has launcher
  • Hotline Miami: has launcher
  • Awesomenauts: can have launcher
  • Wargame: European Escalation: pointer grabs that bypass X server path
  • Planetary Annihilation has plenty of mapped windows, and a big cursor hotspot offset
  • XCOM can have trouble focusing after launcher as it doesn't want to start drawing until it gets focused
