Hello,
after some more testing I found the root cause why a Windows 7 HVM will always
run in fullscreen mode under the tiling window manager i3wm.
The following config line was used to move the windows VM to a specific
workspace:
set $workspace3 "3 Windows"
assign [class="win7"] $workspace3
Problem:
Windows 7 will not work in seamless mode with i3wm.
When booting up the VM will always run in fullscreen mode.
Root cause:
having an "assign"-entry in your ~/.local/i3/config which can move a windows to
a specific workspace/desktop will break seamless mode.
Solution:
Removing the configuration option in your i3 config.
This will make seamless mode work with your win7 HVM and you'll get a windows
in a tilinmg window manager.
unfortunately you need to move windows manually to the desired workspace.
This behaviour looks strange to me, so I name this a bug, but I am unsure if
this is i3wm or Qubes related.
