title: QuickTime in Linux
---

<p>
After seeing how well it worked for 
<a href="http://www.tynian.net/">Brian (bma)</a>, I decided to buy my own copy of
<a ref="http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/">the Crossover plugin</a>.  Movies play fine in my browser (<a href="http://galeon.sourceforge.net/">Galeon</a>), and the independant player works great as well.  The only installation issue I had was with the QuickTime 5 installer; <a href="http://www.enlightenment.org/">Enlightenment</a> maps the full-screen override-redirect <i>above</i> the setup window, with no real way to raise it.  The solution? Temporarily allow WINE to manage all it's windows, instead of deferring non-full-screen windows to the window manager.  You can do this by commenting out the line that says <code>"Managed" = "Y"</code> in your Crossover WINE configuration file (usually <code>$HOME/crossover/dotwine/config</code>).  Incidentally, this same fix also works for cranky Windows installers in standard WINE.
