           Summary: regression: windows almost never focussed or loose focus
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.43.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-x11driver
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Hi,
since upgrading to 0.9.42 and 0.9.43, I cannot use wine anymore because most
windows don't get focus or immediately loose it when clicking, even winecfg and
regedit. Some apps iconify as soon as I click something. I upgraded from 0.9.38
(so I don't know whether the regression was introduced with 0.39, .40, 41 or
42). 
Although I'm using metacity in Ubuntu Dapper, I believe this bug is different
from bug #5120 as I had been using Ubuntu with wine successfully with 20070725,
0.9.9, 0.9.15 .16, .19 21 ... and many other versions.

Symptoms:
winecfg & regedit start without getting focus.
When I move the cursor from one window to the other, the "window resize" cursor
that was set while moving over the window's border remains set even after I
click to activate the second window.
There are also several refresh problems when moving windows (mostly grey border
lines) in winecfg and regedit.
Every time I activate the wine 800x600 desktop window, all ms-windows apps
become deactivated (some iconify then).

Normally, I have apps\metycity\focus_mode "sloppy" set via the preferences (the
Gnome prefs set "sloppy", not "mouse"). With that, the situation is now so bad
that wine is unusable. E.g. I can activate winecfg only by moving its window.
Then, approx every other click causes the window to loose focus (which causes
other apps to iconify). Every other click does not toggle the boolean
checkboxes in winecfg (because its window is not active).

When I'm not using a wine desktop window, the sudden iconification also
prevents the apps from being usable, as there's no "restore" menu available
(and "maximize" is disabled) in Gnome/metacity.

I have no other window managers installed on this machines to try.
