           Summary: Keyboard ony work when cursor locate at windows top
                    title bar area
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20041019
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: azure at totem.ca


I find out this problem since I start using wine years ago.  

I Start using Wine since Redhat 7.3 and now I am using Fedora Core 3 and still
had the same problem.

I had the same problem with RXVT and they send me some code to modify the RXVT
and re-compile it and it work.


The following is how the code change in rxvt 

=======================================================================
this is caused by a design flaw in X11, how synergy snoops for
events, and how rxvt handles keyboard events.  there may be
something i can do to synergy to avoid the problem but fixing
rxvt is a whole lot simpler.  i filed a bug against rxvt and
included a patch, which i've included below if you'd like to
apply it to rxvt 2.7.10 yourself.

cheers,

=============================================

And I just find out if i do a command "cat /etc/localtime" ( Mountain Time 
America/Edmonton) and then start the wine then the problem fixed.  I had no idea
how and why but it work.

Hope this can help to fix the problem.
