Good luck with that. It never really worked. Ever, not counting a special kind
of DDraw games (haven't seen a single one yet, but the code is there...).

AJ stated that until Wine will be stable enough it should never completely grab
mouse/keyboard input. You'll need to reboot/power off/remotely kill Wine if
it crashes while grabbing controls.

A long, long time ago the code worked when we were using Transgaming their old
DirectDraw code, but we dropped their DirectDraw code years ago. This old piece
of code which can't be entered anymore just waits to be removed....
