When the "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" Wine
doesn't respond to presses of the CTRL key most of the time. The little
notifier that circles the mouse shows up, but the problem will not
respond as it should. I would know, because I wrote the program.

Ubuntu version 8.04 (though I noticed the problem since as far back as
I've been using Ubuntu, which is 7.04), and most every Wine version,
including the newest one on Wine's website which is wine-1.0-rc1.

The fix I've found is to turn off the feature (in System --> Preferences
--> Mouse) under "Locate Pointer" and it will work as expected, but with
that feature on it will not.

There was someone in the Ubuntu bug report where I originally filed the
bug, who posted a link to http://automatthias.wordpress.com/2008/06/03
/ctrl-key-not-working-in-vnc/ saying that the problem isn't specific to
just Wine, but to all of GNOME.

What exactly is your program doing? How is it receiving keyboard events? And 
what exactly is the problem? Does not receive control key press/release events 
at all? Are they different events? Does it loose focus when key event comes in?

I don't know how the events work, per se, but I can make it say "Hello
World" in a popup box, it would not be relavant. The problem, which
seems to be a GNOME problem in general. GNOME gives you option to that
allows you to easily locate the mouse pointer by pressing CTRL, which
shows a small animation around the cursor. This will interfere with ANY
program in which CTRL is a key used for key listeners or keyboard
events.

Invalid then. GNOME bug.

Well it needs to be sent upstream to GNOME, I think.
