[Wine] steam windows not working and tray icon broken?
When I launch Steam through wine the main window loads fine and I can click to the games tab and see my games, but if I try to navigate to other windows within steam (settings, etc.) the space that window takes up flashes briefly then disappears. My task bar says the window is there, but I can't see it or do anything with it. Also, if I close the main Steam window and then try to re-open it from the icon that stays in the far right of the task bar, nothing happens. The icon flickers a bit but does not respond to clicks, right or left mouse button. The only way I can get the main Steam window back is to use my system monitor and kill Steam then restart it. I do not know if these problems are related to each other. I didn't get any errors on install of Steam or when it crashes. I have tried the 'repair' option in the wine uninstall tool. All the Steam windows worked fine for me a few weeks ago (during the Star Trek Online and Global Agenda betas and release). I haven't been able to find this problem in google searches or the wineapp page for Steam, any ideas? Wine 1.1.38 (newest my distro has) Nvidia 6150 SE (190.53 driver) Fedora 12KDE (32 bit)

Make sure wine_gecko is properly installed ('wine iexplore http://www.winehq.org/' should open Wine's home page).
