wine users - Oct 2005 - Simple Sudoku - not minimising/letting me do anything else

I have installed Simple Sudoku (http://www.angusj.com/sudoku/index.php)
but I cannot minimise it, nor go to another screen to do something else.
If I try, its window gets larger, vertically.

I am using wine 20050725 (which is what is packaged for my system at
present), on a Debian system running XFree86, with icewm-gnome.

Can anyone advise why this program "hogs attention"?

Hi Phil,
   First, enter it into the Wine AppDb so this can get tracked. After
you do that I'll throw in my observations.

   I have a machine with an older version of Wine - 20040505 - because
this runs some audio apps quite well. I quickly tried Simple Sudoku on
it and it seems to run pretty well. I don't know how to play but I can
call the app up, place it behind other windows, get it back again,
enter a few numbers in cells, etc.

   One FRUSTRATING thing about many of these Wine apps is that I
cannot Alt-Tab into theb.

   Also, after Simple Sudoku has been running my fan starts reving up
so Wine is taking lots of CPU:

100% going to wine-pthread. NOT GOOD! This is a P4 HT machine. Too
much computing!
