    Wine Crashed, Now Can't Type in txt Fields, and Lost max, min, and x from all windows

    First post on the forum but I've read for a while, been using linux for 2+ years as my only OS and to date I've always been able to find my problem, find a solution, and repair myself... until now

    What happened: Using wine, re-installed EVE (hadn't played for awhile), things went fine, ran eve, things were fine... then like an idiot in the middle of the opening graphic sequence I tried to exit out... big mistake... system hung up and I had to do a hard restart. Upon restart the following has happened:

    Current Problem:

    1. I currently cannot type into SOME text fields. I can type into Firefox, and Open office, but not into KDE wallet, Kubuntu search fields, or the terminal (big problem). If i go out of KDE and straight command line I can run terminal commands. I can also cut and paste into all text fields including the ones I cannot type into.

    2. I've lost all X, Minimize, and Maximize from ALL windows, and cannot move windows. I can resize some windows, like firefox however. Windows are not layering properly, if any window is open the "start" button menu will be blocked out, and the opened windows will not layer behind it (makes me have to resize windows to shut down).

    3. Tried to go back to a prior good configuration to no avail. The 3 most recent configs have the same errors now, and the configs prior to that are refusing to initialize KDE... screen will flicker and then go strait to command lines.

    notes: I have tried changing graphics drivers to no avail, and have redone the keyboard selection to no avail. Also uninstalled wine, but that didn't do anything.

    So baisically, I can work within the errors and make stuff run, but it's a huge PITA. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I think I have the same problem. Installed the latest version of Wine (1.3?), and tried to run calc.exe. It wouldn't start. Everything else appeared normal and I carried on using the machine (MSI laptop CR720) browsing and the other usual stuff.

    The next day, booting was very slow, and I have lost the title bars from windows, I cannot move, resize or close them except by "File--Quit" from the menu (I opened the Kpackage manager, and found it was impossible to close at all). Rebooting has no effect.
