First off GREAT PROGRAM! It's the Wine team that is loosening the tyrannical grip of the "Other" software company on the computer using community worldwide, while at the same time making it easy for Linux users to still have the use of the programs they are used to, in turn making a transition of operating systems easy. That said, on to the issue. The issue is when using Wine holding in the ALT key and then using the Mouse 2 button, or right mouse button, brings up a context menu. Which in itself is fine, except it usually happens in a game, like Guild wars, ALT selects only certain players, and Mouse 2 pans the camera. So my question(s) are... Does anyone know of a registry tweak or something to disable that context menu? or if there is no way to configure it out.. Can you devs re-map the key from ALT to a Function key or somewhere else for 1.0? :) Thanks for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

Consult your manual for Gnome/KDE/whatever window manager you are using.

However it ONLY happens when I use Wine to run programs. If I use the desktop manager it would totally disable the use of the key, or re maps it in a manner that changes the key use in the programs run under Wine or natively.

But not Wine.

That's a Windows-user problem for the most part. For us, Wine is merely a compatibility layer to run games originally made for an operating system that is a very, very long way off from being ready for the desktop at the rate it's progressing.> That said, on to the issue.

So my question(s) are...Sounds like your window manager is trapping alt-right clicks. Not enough details about what your environment is to continue. -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It's the Wine team that is loosening the tyrannical grip of the "Other" software company on the computer using community worldwide, while at the same time making it easy for new Linux users to still have the use of the programs they are used to, in turn making a transition of operating systems easy. I'm not sure of what kind of info you'll need, but heres a start. On every version of Wine from 9.3(ish) to current on desktop managers KDE and Gnome. Linux distributions where it happens in Wine Slackware 9, 10, 11, 12, and 12.1 (KDE), Ubuntu 6.06 to 8.04 (Gnome) Fedora Core 3 to Fedora 9 (Gnome) SuSE 10 to 10.3 (KDE & Gnome)-I'll try 11 in a few days Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gnome) Debian Sarge, Etch, Lenny (KDE & Gnome) Mandriva 2007 & 2008 (KDE & Gnome) Those are all the distributions I've tried with different versions of Wine with my non Linux native programs where the context menu pops up when I'm holding the ALT key and use the Right mouse button. Its the same context menu that pops up when you use the Right mouse button on a program in the system tray in Linux. Just post what other info you need. Anything to resolve this. THANKS for your help.
Thanks for the replys, it is much appreciated. :) I'll look into it and post a reply with any success or failure. I had to tank my o/s's due to a mobo failure. I'll be a couple days until I get a new rig up and running. Currently I'll be using a Gnome desktop manager. Incidentally the option to edit "Keyboard Shortcuts" was hidden and the only option I was able to choose was "Keyboard" which didn't allow me to disable any combo key's.
