Gnome-shell and fullscreen wine application

I'm using gnome-shell 3.10.4-1 and wine 1.7.13-1 and I can't switch to full screen wine application.
I can see it in application drawer:
link
But when I click on it i get previous app.
I've found a workaround: turn off in winecfg "allow windows manager to control windows". It starts work as should, but I can't switch between applications.

<modedit>Replaced full screen image with link. Please read our forum etiquette. /Xyne</modedit>

Re: Gnome-shell and fullscreen wine application

Gnome has had a fullscreen applications not displaying bug since 3.8 that has gotten worse. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722743

Apart from using something like devilspie the only thing you can do is to change your DE. Cinnamon is what I recommend.

Re: Gnome-shell and fullscreen wine application

Another option would be to configure wine to use virtual desktop with identical size of your resolution, eg. if your display has resolution of 1360x768, configure wine to use same virtual desktop resolution. Now, when you start any wine application, it starts first virtual desktop with the size of your screen, eg. fullscreen wine display.
