wine console does not get keyboard events

[Mike Bowie]

I believe I came across this myself. Running wine <app> directly under xpra start appears to be totally functional, and responds to mouse input; however no keypress events are acknowledged by the wine application.

I tried instead launching the wine process by hand under an xterm instance via xpra start --start-child=xterm , and found that the keystrokes intended for the wine application in fact reflect in the xterm window. From this behavior, I assumed the issue was focus based.

I found that by running under start-desktop with a window manager, the process then begins to behave as expected; eg xpra start-desktop --start=blackbox --start-child=wine winecfg

Hopefully this provides some assistance in tracking down the root cause of this behavior, or at very least, a viable workaround for others.

PS. Nice to see a Trac instance still going strong! \m/

Workaround for wine apps in r26291: start the server with:

xpra start --env=XPRA_FORCE_XSETINPUTFOCUS=1 ...

Maybe we can change the default to always call ​XSetInputFocus rather than checking the "input_field"? (or maybe it isn't set properly for wine apps?)

r26312 changes the default to always call XSetInputFocus for 4.1

If this causes problems, we can revert it.
