> Not true, if those games grab keyboard (as most do). But not Wine. I don't understand that reply. I get the phrase "grab keyboard" but not in the context you have it written. Are you stating that Wine doesn't "grab keyboard"? Anywho, since it ONLY happens when Wine launches a program, it seems that it's Wine that needs to be tweaked. I looked into changing the keyboard using the desktop managers but thats not a solution for my situation. THANKS for any help.
