--- Comment #5 from Martin Fontaigne <martinrs at softhome.net> ---
Although this bug is closed/abandoned, I just have to add some closure to this
bug.

I have found a solution with key input not responding, and it leads me to
believe that it may be a bug in the game itself or buggy interaction with wine.

First, whenever you change control configuration, none of them actually gets
activated. Even if you save the configuration (there are only two choices to
save to: mydefault or myconfig) none of the changes work, and they are never
loaded when game starts, and never activated even when manually loaded in the
game.

But, the game always seem to use the configuration in the file bindings.def.
The default binding obviously has key names that are not compatible with
wine/X11 key names, so they never work.

So the workaround solution is as follows:

1. Start the game, then change control configuration in the game
2. Save configuration to mydefault or myconfig
3. Quit the game
4. Copy shell/bindings/myconfig.dff or shell/bindings/mydefault.dff (whichever
you saved to) to bindings.def, overwriting it.
5. Start the game.
6. Voila! All the keys work perfectly.

Hope this helps others, and gives proper closure to a long-standing issue.
