I have an issue to add to this bug.  When I first ran half life 2 with Wine
0.9.54 I kept thinking the application was crashing, since the game window
would suddenly disappear, showing the desktop, but I could still hear the game
sounds.  When I went to quit steam from the toolbar icon, it said that there
were still steam applications and then showed hl2 on the alt-tab list (although
it was not there after disappearing), which then allowed me to switch back.

I eventually realized that the reason hl2 kept losing focus was because my
laptop was setup for 2 X screens (my projector and my LCD).  The projector is
RightOf my LCD, so whenever I moved the mouse to quickly to the right (looking
to the right in the game), the application would loose focus and switch back to
the desktop.  Making the game pretty much unplayable.  Disabling the second X
screen makes the game run fairly flawlessly.

Maybe this should be created as a different bug though?  Since the issue is
that focus is lost due to other X screen getting triggered by mouse moving off
the screen.
