When the "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" Wine
doesn't respond to presses of the CTRL key most of the time. The little
notifier that circles the mouse shows up, but the problem will not respond as
it should. I would know, because I wrote the program.

Ubuntu version 8.04 (though I noticed the problem since as far back as I've
been using Ubuntu, which is 7.04), and most every Wine version, including the
newest one on Wine's website which is wine-1.0-rc1.

The fix I've found is to turn off the feature (in System --> Preferences -->
Mouse) under "Locate Pointer" and it will work as expected, but with that
feature on it will not.
