installing low level hooks and forwarding input to the server. This is just
to get "try 1" out of the door. Of course, it would be better if the input
feed would be server-side only.

reply->lparam) value, instead is was overwritten by some constant. That was
happening only for the messages sent by the patch using post_message. I
guess the tales of server-side dragons hold some truth... If anyone wants to
try to reproduce it, just recompile without the unused #include "user.h" in
raw_input.c and run user32 tests.

I'm not sure I like your approach and that AJ would like it either.

Raw input is an "override" of regular messages caused by mouse/keyboard 
input. Wine server already receives these messages from x11drv (see 
__wine_send_input & co).

When applications requests raw input events you need to tell wine server if 
it needs to send regular events, or ignore all events, and produce raw input 
events instead.
