I have this issue as well, but I have noticed it in other games such as EVE
online as well. Judging from the issues I see this is likely another version of
bugs 9320 and/or 21564.

Are you running these games in a VD on a separate X server? I work around these
issues by starting a new X server and running the application _only_ on it.
That way there is nothing else there to take focus away from the main window.

Unfortunately Steam may sometimes pop up windows after you have already started
the game, and they may still take the keyboard focus away. The only solution
for that seems to be to kill the wine instance and re-launch, hoping that this
time steam will keep it's mouth shut.
