wine users - Apr 2012 - "sticky" modifier keys issue when wine loses focus

When running a program in wine, and I use a hotkey combo to either switch
desktops or open another program (example: to bring forward my fullscreen
terminal), the modifier keys are still depressed, according to wine, when I
switch back to the wine window.

I did some tests, and found that when switching desktops away from wine with a
hotkey with modifiers, and then switching back with a method that doesn't
require modifiers, the problem shows up. When I do the reverse, switching away
without modifier keys, then switching back with them, the problem is gone.

This leads me to think it's an issue with wine not receiving the correct
events from X, but I'm not sure how to debug this. It sounds an awful lot
like this bug that was fixed in wine several years ago:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1990

I'm running Archlinux, 64 bit, and everything is up-to-date.

I just reread this and realized I wasn't quite clear:

This doesn't seem to be a common problem, and as a result I don't expect
anyone to have a solution for me. What I would like, if possible, is suggestions
on how to debug this problem further. Does anyone have any?

Time for a regression test.
