It reads raw X events, and translates them multiple times between different representations (X keycodes, scancodes, windows virtkeys). You could run with: WINEDEBUG=+key,+keyboard wine program.exe and see if there is any useful debugging info (check what happens when you type an umlaut). Ciao, Marcus
