Thank you for the response.  

I guess I am not understanding what you mean.  For whatever reason, the alt-tab combo does not work in WoW or Rift.  I do not have anything else bound to this shortcut in Gnome.  

Consequently, I created a new keyboard shortcut to close all windows and go to the desktop - Alt F1.  So I hit this shortcut and then surf the web, update mp3s, etc.

When I return to the game, certain keys do not work....but others do.  I am clueless as to why this is happening.

To be clear, this was previously working before.  I created a new wine prefix for Rift and the problem still persists.

Any ideas as to what I could check?  I am have tried running the games in fullscreen and windowed and the problem still exists.  

Thanks for the help.
