Seriously. I fail to see how you can find the fix "easy". I've read the problem description and it doesn't appear to be easy at all. How is Wine supposed to support transparent windows? With Compiz? With the Composite extension? How to check for them? What if they are not available? Yes, one could just set the appropriate xatom flags and be done with it, but if a compositing window manager is not present it won't do anything. Also, I am not sure about the click through flag, that would require some spelunking to find out how wine supports it, if at all. All in all, it doesn't appear to be trivial. It doesn't even have a proposed patch! Repeating assertions in the bug report and the mailing list is a good way to annoy people. One thing that you should understand is that "widely wanted features" mean exactly nothing. Being "widely wanted" won't make the feature easier to implement, test or integrate. You could offer a business proposition to CodeWeavers or Transgaming, for them to implement a feature, offer a bounty, code it yourself or even pay someone you know to do it for you. You could even work with other people in UK who like playing poker to pool the resources for such task. That would be more productive. -- Stephen Sent from my Emacs
