wine users - Sep 2004 - Wine and Remote Desktop??---- can't get mouse focus

hi all:
	I copied over a windows MSTSC.exe and ran the remote desktop,
	it gave me a small window for the IP address, then after the
	successful connection, it shows me the (full screen ) XP login
	interface, weir thing is, it loses mouse / keyboard focus now, so I
	can't type in anything, neither can I close the window, the focus is
	still on the background (gnome) desktop, so I could press
	Ctrl+Alt+F1 and go to console to manually kill the MSTSC.exe window.

	anybody has an idea why it loses input focus? 
	thanks a lot

I'm not sure why this happens, but I kind of get the same problem when
playing
Diablo 2, I use windowmaker as my WM and to get the focus back on the game, I 
just flip to another windowmaker desktop and back again, you might try the 
equivalent with Gnome.  Also there is the *nix program rdesktop that I use 
regularly to connect to Windows terminal servers.
