[Wine] Weird Keystroke Errors

Here is my system
Fedora 10
Avant Stellar Keyboard (uses Northgate Omnikey 101 layout)
wine 1.1.14, 1.1.15, and 1.1.16

Problem:
While in game, doesn't matter which, I've tried this with World of Warcraft, and Counter-strike.  I have a problem with keystrokes registering 2 keystrokes behind.

Example: While typing in game if I type the word "Anyone" the 'A' and 'n' do not show up, but when I get to the 'y' the 'A' shows up, and when I get to the 'o' the first 'n' shows up.  This is with text. 

Example2: Say i'm moving around in WoW or in Counter-strike.  I decide to hit the 'a' keystroke nothing happens, but when I hit 'a' a second time, the characters turn, but keep turning even after I let go of the 'a' key.  and it doesn't stop.

Example3: If I were to hit 'a' to turn left, but then hit 'd' to turn right, nothing happens.  It only seems to turn once hit twice, and this is the same with all keys, not just turn direction.  If I hit 'esc' the menu should come up.  Nothing happens, but if I hit it twice it comes up.  However, if i'm stuck in the turn loop by hitting 'a' twice, i sometimes have to hit 'esc' multiple times in order to the the menu up. 

My guesses:  They are just guesses, but it seems to be something to do with a buffering of keystrokes or something.  Take this with a grain of salt.

What works:  Everything except for games played in Wine.  Notepad even seems to work properly.  Also, i typed this entry into the forums on the same keyboard, everything in Fedora works.  Just the games in Wine do not.

Please help me if you can.  I do not wish to have to downgrade to windows to play my games. ;(
