The networking bug has been fixed, but another problem is that I can't see any of the text. Appdb mentions something about installing tahoma.ttf from a Windows installation, which makes no sense to me, since I could see Steam displayed fine earlier, making this a regression. Any suggestions as to what might have caused this (or maybe it was a Steam upgrade?).
Also - Steam has a keyboard focus bug, with a documented patch here (from Stefan Dosinger): http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2005/03/0504.html Previously he reported that the patch might break other apps, but if it fixes Steam, then it must be on the right track - surely it can be changed so it's acceptable for Wine CVS. I don't understand why a known bug with a known patch remains unfixed.

To provide some more information:
- there are no error messages - I can provide any necessary traces if you can hint at where the problem might be. - I can see text during the initial connect screen up to the point where the new "skinned" Steam screen appears. I see no text on the new-look dialog boxes. - I will try installing tahoma.ttf from a friend's machine, but my point above was that I've had Steam working without any extra dlls/fonts/non-wine components, other than the Transgaming version of the ActiveX control, and the text has only been missing recently.
Any help is appreciated..

The relevant bugzilla is here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2926
I'm just curious if this patch has been forgotten, or if this issue is just too difficult to fix at this time.

The problem Steam shows is common to all boarderless Apps which don't specify the WS_EX_APPWINDOW flag. Fixing it is quite tricky, as we need a good rule which windows should be managed. With my patch applied a few other bugs occur: *Moving the Steam Window to the screen boader causes a bad conflict between Steam and KDE *The Quicktime Window can't be moved any more. *The tool boxes in MS Visual Studio 6 become managed and have a close button. If you accidentaly close one, the whole VS shuts down.
These might be real regressions, or allready existing bugs, which are only shown by my patch. I am not sure, and the whole thing is really tricky.

Ok, so maybe I should stop asking about it then :) Just making sure it isn't forgotten...
The other problem I mentioned, by the way, (invisible fonts) has been fixed, and Steam now appears to work (you still have to re-try 10 or so times to get past the memory assertion bug...). I'm downloading HL2 quickly, before it breaks again!
