[Wine] 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"? -- Phil Reynolds o ____ mail: phil@tinsleyviaduct.com |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95

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: mark@dragonfly ~ $ top top - 06:37:46 up 23:11, 3 users, load average: 0.92, 0.52, 0.25 Tasks: 87 total, 1 running, 86 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 99.7% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.3% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 498996k total, 488536k used, 10460k free, 93752k buffers Swap: 1052216k total, 380k used, 1051836k free, 123752k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 12056 mark 16 0 63348 10m 6044 S 99.3 2.2 2:01.47 wine-pthread 8325 root 15 0 156m 20m 5876 S 0.3 4.2 4:07.97 X 12008 mark 15 0 30924 13m 8204 S 0.3 2.8 0:01.06 gnome-terminal 1 root 16 0 1448 500 436 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.10 init 100% going to wine-pthread.
