wine users - Apr 2008 - Weird fullscreen behavior with 0.9.57 and 0.9.58

Hi all,

Since two WINE versions, I'm experiencing the same behavior reported in
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10755 but related to two other
fullscreen'ed programs:

	EVE Online v.4.10.51200 Premium

	World of Warcraft 2.3.3 w/Burning Crusade


Before starting a regression (I'm ready to do that but my machine isn't
the fastest kid in town, so I want to be sure it's a needed task), or even
post a bug report/comment on the above one, is this "new" behavior
planned, wanted, expected or otherwise intended? Let me resume what happens:

	
Upto WINE 0.9.56: in the two fullscreen applications I use, if I alt-tab out of
them, the next window in the X11 window list is raised on top of the
fullscreen'ed WINE app, receives focus, accepts HMI events, and I can
interact with it. I can return to my fullscreen game with another alt-tab. Or I
can browse other windows in the list, by keeping the alt key pressed and tapping
the tab key multiple times.
That's how both programs behave natively on the Windows machine next to my
linux rig. That's how X11 generic fullscreen apps behave. That's how
I'd expect WINE to work.

Could you try wine-0.9.59? There were few fixes/changes related to the
fullscreen applications.

Around one hour after I posted my message, I saw 0.9.59 being announced.

For sure I will try it, and post any relevant news about the issue.

I am running Dungeon Siege, and have experienced similar on all of 0.9.57 -
0.9.60.

Earlier versions did allow ALT-TAB to work flawlessly (at least from the testing
I had performed).

Now if I ALT-TAB I cannot get focus consistantly and have experienced locks.
