--- Comment #16 from 7WCbywQg3N2H@dyweni.com 2011-09-17 23:09:35 CDT --- A little more info - I tested killing openbox to see if it was a contributing factor.
My test sequence is this: 1. From the 2nd computer SSH'd into this one, make note of the /usr/bin/X and openbox pid #s. Killed the openbox process. 2. This caused XDM to present the normal XDM login screen. 3. Login and verify Openbox is present. 4. Verify /usr/bin/X has the same pid # but openbox has a new pid #. 5. Fire up two instances of EVE and see wine "freeze" almost instantly (even before I get to the game login prompt). 6. Fire up Chrome (Chrome has focus) and see wine "unfreeze".
Thanks, Dyweni
