I have tested googletalk with the patch of yours, i am attaching the screenshot of it. whenever i ve closed an googletalk instance its present on the screen (in the picture i have labelled it as zombie), in ps -ef its not killing the wine-pthread process. even if i kill that process manually, i see some artifacts of it left on the screen see to top most marking.
Yeah I get that with Steam and Hotsync as well, in addition to a test program that I slapped together. This sort of behavior only shows itself in GNOME, not in other XEmbed compliant desktops i tested. (I tried XFce and IceWM, in those environments the patches don't show this behavior) It's been suggested that this is some sort of bug in GNOME's implementation of the spec, and I have to agree. So I don't think there's much I can do on the Wine side of this. But I'm not sure about zombie processes though. I'll take a look at that. Thanks for the feedback.
