I am trying to solve a problem that i have with wine, radmin, and gnome. i am running fedora core 4 with gnome and i installed the wine version for fedora core 3. the problem i'm having is that when i use radmin to remotely share my desktop at work only the mouse is allowed to function in the shared desktop. keystrokes made in the desktop window are transfered straight through the radmin desktop sharing window and if there is an application open behind radmin the keystrokes go there. i've sent an email to the wine newslist. they suggested to configure wine to run as a virtual desktop. that doesn't work, other people in the past have suggested minimizing and maximing the radmin desktop window, but that doesn't work either. (note that the initial control panel from radmin and the windows to accept passwords and configure radmin accept both keystrokes and mouse clicks, just the desktop sharing fails to get the keystrokes). at this point, i'm stumped. i don't think the wine people have a solution. i get the same problems with kde, with an additional wrinkle (i did this before configuring wine to be a virtual desktop). if i minimize the radmin desktop i can't restore the application. it seems it's trapped behind the kde desktop. (i've also used the failsafe method. that didn't work either, but i should try again with the new wine configuration). the only other avenues that i can come up with to circumvent this problem is to login without gnome or kde and just use plain X or maybe use fvwm (but fvwm doesn't install because it is out of date for fedora core 4 -- i think imlib is too new for what's out on the web), enlightenment doesn't compile either... for what it's worth, emacs won't compile either for a fedora core 4 installation that comes right off the DVD. but anyway, i'd like any advice about how to make radmin accept keystrokes or find a way to use X but to strip out all of the gnome / kde complications or any advice about how to make an application accept keystrokes. and if anyone has time could you give some pointers on making emacs, enlightenment, and fvwm compile with the basic fedora core 4 setup. or is there any advice on eliminating certain errors like unsignedness, etc...
