[Bug 16179] New: QIP: flashing chat window disappears if it is not on the current desktop.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16179

Summary: QIP: flashing chat window disappears if it is not on the
                    current desktop.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://qip.ru/en/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

If QIP tries to flash one of its chat windows while the user is on another
desktop, the chat window disappears completely until I restart the application.
The problem also comes up when you change desktops while the window is
flashing. No error logs are attached because there is no output in the console
if the bug appears.

To reproduce the crash:

1) Download QIP (e.g. at
http://qip.ru/download/qip/?http://download.qip.ru/qip8070.exe ).

2) Start QIP. If it fails to start (this is a bug unrelated to this one), try
this work-around: go to your QIP-Directory (should be ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\
Files/QIP), open current.cfg in your "Skins" directory, and replace "1" with
"0".

3) Log on with your ICQ #. If you don't have one, you can easily register one
with QIP in less than 30 seconds (you don't have to enter any email address).

4) Open the chat window, make someone send you a chat message, but before you
receive it, change the desktop.

5) If you receive a message while you're on another desktop, the chat window
will disappear. This only works if the chat window had focus before you changed
the desktop.

Do you have compiz enabled? If so, can you try it without compiz?

Also please specify the version of Wine you are using.

Hello, Im from Russia and not speak english so good. Im newbe in linux, but
advanced windows user. Im using Ubuntu 10.04 and try to run ICQ-messenger "QIP
2010" (www.qip.ru) in Wine. Installation was OK, but when QIP is run, I can't
change size of 'main window' (not 'chat window', it's OK). The framework around
a window changes, but the contents remains without changes. Contact-list which
is longer than primary position of a window, doesn't increase after window
deployment on a vertical.

Then, when I trying move main QIP-window to another position on desktop, it
moves. But the first pressing any button or a management element leads to that
the window comes back to an initial place and accepts the initial size. QIP's
button 'Always on top' doesn't influence it. Or, window works on new place, but
dropping out menus drops on old window's place (This place always on the right,
and also on the center concerning a vertical, but not closely to the monitor
right edge).

Then, when I close QIP, wine writes to me standart error: In program QIP was
serious error, program will shut down, etc.

Thanks for reading. ===СТАЛИНЕЦ===, ICQ#398507861.

PS
QIP 2010, QIP Infium and QIP 2005a is very, very popular ICQ-messengers in
Russia. ICQ is too very popular in Russia. New Linux user often tries to
install QIP using Wine, as Pidgin, Kopete and Qutim it is pleasant not to all
and first time looks very unusually for QIP user.
