             Bug #: 32445
           Summary: PuTTY window does not receive focus when "Allow window
                    manager to control windows" option disabled
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.19
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: markk at clara.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified


I noticed this issue testing PuTTY 0.62 with wine-1.5.19-74-g4bb92e1. Testing
on Lubuntu 11.10 (OpenBox 3.5.0 WM).

When the "Allow the window manager to control the windows" option has been
disabled using winecfg, the PuTTY terminal window does not receive keyboard
input. Instead the console window which you ran putty.exe from receives input.

That only applies to the PuTTY terminal window, not the initial settings
window. It also only applies when *not* in virtual desktop mode.

To reproduce:
 - Disable "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in winecfg
 - Download and run putty.exe. The PuTTY Configuration window appears. Note
that initially it does not seem to have focus; the window title bar is grey not
blue. However the window does actually have focus and receives keyboard input.
 - Connect to a server. E.g. enter telehack.com for Host Name, Telnet for
connection type and click the Open button.
 - The terminal window appears after a few seconds. It seems to be focused
(title bar blue) but even if you click in the window, the characters you type
appear in the console. (If you activate another window before clicking in the
PuTTY one, input goes to that window instead.)
