http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19689

Summary: Wine windows are not recognized by wmctrl or Alt-tab
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Any program that I run in wine is not recognized by wmctrl -l or alt-tab. 
Consequently I cannot use either of those methods for selecting a wine window
to be active.

What environment are you using?  It works fine here under Gnome/GDM.

Have you changed any settings in winecfg?

I'm using Ubuntu Karmic with all updates.  GNOME 2.27.5.  Wine 1.1.27 with a
couple of irrelevant homegrown source code patches.

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to winecfg.  It makes no difference
whether I allow the window manager to decorate/control the windows.  (Although
that does make a difference to flickering in my Steam menu).

Again what all you changed in winecfg? If you can't tell, remove ~/.wine
directory (or use a new WINEPREFIX) and DO NOT change anything in winecfg.

What program(s) are you referring to?

Okay, my bad.  I had "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
disabled, in order to workaround the Steam menu flickering problem that is
mentioned elsewhere in bugzilla.  I was correctly enabling and disabling it,
but because Steam stayed resident in the tray throughout my experiments, rather
than being reloaded, it was not being affected by the changes.

So the solution is: Enable "Allow the window manager to control the windows",
and learn to put up with flickering.
