Incorrect window decorations

[mneagh]

I have two Debian machines, one of which I don't update often which is running Wine 1.8, and the other being my main machine running 1.8.1. I run Grapevine on both of these machines. On the older machine, everything works fine (except for printing, but that's a whole different mess that I have a workaround for already). On the newer one, it's really just annoying but I thought I'd ask.

The window control decorations for minimize, maximize, and close, are "0", "1", and "r". If you maximize the window, the "1" changes to a "2". Also, there are some odd font bugs that make the window not display exactly right. Is this critical? No. But I'm enough of a perfectionist for it to bug me that it seems to run fine on one computer while being buggy on the other.

winecfg options on both computers are the same
~.wine/drive_c/windows/system and /system32 folders have been copied from old to new

So I have no idea what might be causing this.

You can't do that. If you're going to copy a wineprefix, it needs to be the whole thing, and even then it may not work due to differences in the underlying system.

That certainly explains some things. But the copying happened in an attempt to troubleshoot the problem, so it's not the cause.

WineHQ hasn't packaged 1.8.1, so I assume you're using either the distro package or built Wine yourself. Try the WineHQ package (development or staging). https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

1.8.1 is live in Debian Testing.

That's not the WineHQ package, which is what I asked you to test.

My apologies, I misunderstood. Changing sources and installing winehq-staging seems to work perfectly. A minor quibble is that I like to use "testing" in my sources.list but that's not an option for WineHQ. Not a huge deal, though.
