Wontfix. XGrabButton makes it possible on Linux to listen for events of a
certain type (such as Control+right click), but Windows can't do it without a
low-level mouse hook. Since we can't tell what kind of event the program is
looking for, Wine would need to filter all mouse input through the program.
I've been told Wine won't do that sort of thing because it creates a bad user
experience if, for example, a thread hangs and we end up killing all input.
