           Summary: Steam: update window is always on top and does not
                    accept input
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc3
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: cww at denterprises.org


While running wine in desktop mode and playing a game with Steam, if Steam
finds an update for itself, a window will appear on top of the game and will
not accept input.  For games that do not support a windowed run mode (e.g.
Civilization IV), the only way to make the window go away is to exit the game
before attempting to access the Steam client window.

This occurs, for example, when I run Steam with the following script.

---- 8< cut 8< ----

#!/bin/zsh

WINEVERSION=1.2-rc3
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/local/lib/wine-ok"

$HOME/local/wine-$WINEVERSION/bin/wine explorer \
    /desktop=foo,1920x1080 start \
    'C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe'

---- 8< cut 8< ----

Steam may be downloaded at the following URL (though, you may need a Steam
account, which you may create at steampowered.com, first).
