[SOLVED] Openbox + fullscreen wine = focus problems

Hi everyone,

I've got this problem with Openbox: when i play a game via WINE (such as World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2) in fullscreen, the screen become darker and unresponsive after a few mouse clicks. Then if I alt+tab twice, the wine screen become active again... until i decide to click again.

If I play in non-fullscreen windowed mode, it somehow works (WoW and Hearthstone work but GW2 windows blinks dark for like 1 seconde everytime i click).
If I use only the keyboard, everything's fine.
If I set winecfg to create a virtual desktop, everything's fine too.

If I use any other window managers (i tried with xfce, fluxbox, dwm...) i have no problem so i guess is something with the way Openbox and WINE interract.

Any idea what this could be ?

Do you use a composition manager? Any application specific settings in rc.xml?

Ah thanks Emeres !

Indeed it seems that this bug happens when i turn on xcompmgr (activate windows shadow/fadding/transparency).
