I appreciate the info, but I fear that discussion of end-user workarounds may
serve only to derail discussion of a real fix unless the Wine developers really
have no intention of working this issue.

It should also be mentioned that this workaround has also already been
discussed here. In fact, I recently commented that it causes me to lose the
ability to adjust Wine's volume in Ubuntu via the volume buttons on both my
laptop and my USB keyboard :(
