I have not seen anything like this. Does also happen when you > start with a clean ~/.wine directory? So the way to fix/test this is to blow away all history of the program concerned when wine gets updated? With a clean ~/.wine/ directory I have to reinstall the program or the bug comes straight back - mouse pointer stops operating until wineserver is killed via a virtual terminal. After reinstalling, the application works again but all my data has been lost. thanks. Wine needs to handle this kind of thing on upgrades, not pretend that it's a complete reinstall. Is there any way to debug what happened before killing wineserver next time? When I get back to a fast internet connection I'll install libwine-dbg and see if gdb reports anything useful when attached to a broken wineserver. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
