Q:

How to run the Wine virtual desktop fullscreen? 

I have tried to run Age of Empires 2 with wine using the virtual desktop feature to emulate a higher resolution screen.  The game runs and the virtual desktop is indeed working, but it is running in a window and I can't find a way to make the virtual desktop fullscreen!  This is a problem because the OS bar/launcher/etc are still visible/accessible/active, which leads to loss of screen real estate and trouble when moving the cursor left (the ubuntu launcher shows). 
I'd like to know if anyone knows how to run the virtual desktop in proper fullscreen.  I know I could hide the launcher and OS bar to "simulate" a fullscreen look but I'd rather have it be actually fullscreen. 
Thanks!

On my system, I have two monitors, but this works with just one monitor as well.  All I had to do was set the virtual desktop size to the same resolution as my monitor (1920x1080).  Find your screen resolution and set that to be the virtual desktop size. 
I play Rocket League on Steam and set full-screen mode in-game, and it works perfectly well.  The panels on my system (as seen in the screenshot on top) do not interfere at all and aren't there.

After some tweaking I managed to solve my problem.  It seems this is a Unity related bug since the problem didn't persist under a different desktop. 
To solve the issue I simply installed the lxde desktop environment and when I run the game there using the wine virtual desktop, no OS elements are visible so the full screen does work.
