Gnome Crashes After Wine

Post by talkinggoat »

This has happened three times, now. I have Wine 1.8 running on Ubuntu 16.04. Sometimes, after running a game on Wine and exiting the game, the Gnome menu ribbons are not there. I can't get to tty1, through ctrl+alt+f1. Nothing responds. I only have a mouse. The only way to fix it is to hold the power button. Anyone come across this?

Do you quit the game by using it's own 'exit'-function or by pressing the Gnome shortcut?

In my experience, some Wine applications won't quit correctly when trying to end them through the window manager (xmonad, in my case), sometimes keeping keyboard focus, changing resolution / gamma or else. Using the applications own function, they usually quit without making trouble.
