wine users - Mar 2009 - Submenu show delay (MenuShowDelay)

Hi,

I'm having an annoying problem with wine regarding the menu delays in wine
applications (how long it takes for a submenu to appear when I move the mouse
over it in a menu). The delay seems to be stuck at zero, and no matter what I do
I cannot seem to be able to increase it to a "normal" value. As I
understand the delay should be determined by the MenuShowDelay registry variable
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop just like it does in "real"
Windows. I have it set to 400 (verified both with the wine regedit and from
user.reg file) but the delay is still zero in all wine applications including
regedit.

I'm using wine version 1.1.17 in Xubuntu 8.10... I cannot find any help to
the issue from googling, the wine faq/wiki or man pages, so I decided to ask
here if anyone has had a similar problem or would have any ideas on how to debug
the issue? Or could the menu delay be defined somewhere else?

None of the Wine code reads that delay. So no matter what you set it to it's
ignored.

Please file a bug report in bugzilla about ignored value of menu show delay.
