             Bug #: 29858
           Summary: WinUAE is not able to capture certain key press events
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.4-rc1
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://www.winuae.net/files/InstallWinUAE2330.exe
        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'm testing Wine 1.4rc1 under Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit, which uses the LXDE
desktop/Openbox window manager.

The WinUAE Amiga emulator does not capture/see certain key presses when the
emulation is running. A couple I noticed are the left Windows key and the
Ctrl-Alt-D key combination.

When I press the left Windows key, the LXDE panel menu appears at the lower
right of the screen. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-D opens the file manager (PCManFM).

It is definitely possible for programs to capture those key presses. For
example, running a VirtualBox Windows guest, the guest Start menu not the LXDE
panel menu appears when I press the left Windows key.

To (hopefully) show the problem:
- Download and run the WinUAE installer. Check the box to run the program at
the end.
- When the Properties window opens click Start. The emulation window opens and
the mouse and keyboard are captured.
- Press left Windows or Ctrl-Alt-D. As described above, for me those key
presses are taken/eaten by the desktop, not WinUAE.
