--- Comment #28 from Klaus Ethgen Klaus+wine@Ethgen.de 2010-06-21 11:39:53 --- #26: Yes, it still happens. I also test the issue with the newest developing version 1.2 rc4 and found the problem there also. Ah, and I did the test on a fully new installed system with also other architecture (amd64 now).
Still just revoking patch d836a50 solve the problem.
Let me guess a bit what the bug could be about. It could be easily reproduced with fvwm or other simple window managers. However, the major number of users use a click and play desktop like KDE or Gnome this days. As that two window managers have a, uhm, very special way to display the background, as they lay a window in background to display the desktop (very simple explanation) they might act different than window managers without that broken design. It might be that d836a50 is correct to work around that strange design but it seems to be broken on systems which do not implement that thinks.
As I do not see a real technical implication to have this patch (apart if it might be the right way or not), wouldn't it be better to revoke that patch and add it in a better and more robust version later on when it is tested enough?
