I have an odd focus problem to report. This problem is a regression, some time since 4/26 (which does not exhibit the problem). I have not had time to pull interative CVS levels to find out exactly when it appeared, but it was definitely failing last week (at first, I thought that it might be a window manager problem).
The problem has to do with virtual desktop focus. If I switch to a different virtual desktop and back, my wine application disappears! There are no error messages or anything (including when running winedbg without any options), its just become totally invisible. It also disappears from the window manager task list. I believe that the application is still running, based on terminal output and the fact that the various wine processes still show up in top. In fact, with Lotus Notes (6.5.1), you have to kill off those processes to restart a 'disappeared' Notes.
This problem is readily reproducable. Just define virtual desktops in Afterstep (1.8.11) or Enlightenment (the 0.65 snapshot of 16.7, for example), and run 'wine notepad'. Switch focus to another virtual desktop and back - the notepad is gone!
I am running Mandrake cooker, kernel 2.6.7-rc1-mm1, and a May 17th CVS snapshot of x.org.
