Summary: half life 2 display disappears until main steam app
                    closed
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.22.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

when i start half life 2 from the steam games menu, it launches, then displays
the valve splash screen, then loading, then it drops out to my desktop.  about
30 seconds later, i hear the sound of the soldiers walking around as should be
expected in the hl2 main menu.  however, i still am at the desktop, and there is
no taskbar button for hl2.  now, if i right-click on the steam icon, and select
exit, boom, i am back in hl2.  i can confirm the same behavior for both xfce and
gnome desktop environments.

fyi, i am running debian etch, which i suggest you use to test this behavior.

thank you for your consideration.
