wine users - Sep 2008 - Re: Window Scrolling on OSX

I did read something about the Qartzdriver, supposedly by the guy who originated
Darwine, but was built for older version of Wine... Don't know if
there's current work being done on it.
WineHelper is a step in the right direction, but ideally when Wine works better,
it shouldn't open various log windows, process windows, and whatnot (while
being available for debugging), and X11 shouldn't take over the top menu.
CrossOver controls the top menu, with a Programs and Configure menu, as well as
a right-click Programs menu from its dock icon. Much less intrusive. For DOSBox,
there's Boxer, a simple frontend that makes clickable app bundles out of DOS
directories. Simple and elegant.
I'm getting somewhat off-topic I guess...

This is being looked into and possibly revived.  The problem is that the
code the product was written in is specific to Macs and the project
maintainer does not want this.

Also the Window Scrolling problem was fixed with the last release of
Darwine by Mike Kronenberg.  I've asked if this code can be brought back
into Wine but no response as of yet.
