So the other day I was trying to log onto another WoW account while on mine at the same time to run myself through an instance. But when I hit the hotkey to do that (I did it on a different workspace) all it did was bring up the launcher in my already up and running Wine.

And when that happens, I either don't know how to switch back to the other, or the other one is completely closed out (I have a feeling its the ladder). Is there something I have to do with the Wine settings in order to be able to double box?

I was thinking that if I uncheck the 'emulate a virtual desktop' option it might work, but I'm not sure. So if you have any experience with getting this to work I'd love to hear about it!

Another question while I'm here:

Yesterday I enabled SLI on my computer for the first time, but when I started up WoW it caused the game to look all wonky. It was like I could see the screen refreshing all the time and nothing was smooth. Does WINE require some tweaking to work well with SLI? Or does SLI just not work with WINE at all.

Still haven't been able to find the answers to either of my questions, anyone have some experience in this area?

After some more research I stumbled upon this guide and its worked great for me, I've got WoW running on 2 different workspaces, and with this guide you can have as many WoW applications running as your computer can handle. Hope someone else finds this helpful!

Did you use KeyClone or how did you get it to work? I can't seem to get KeyClone to work, or it's just me who doesn't understand how to configure it.. I've fixed with the WoW directorys and stuff so I just need to get either KeyCloner or Synergy2 to work. Can you please describe how you got it working, please!
