@bfharreguy,

This is known issue with how X11 draws new windows vs. how Windows DirectDraw works. Wine tries to copy the order that Windows would draw windows in but this is not always reliable. A further complication is that using different Linux Desktop Environments may also change/alter the draw order.

Perhaps you could post a screenshot and let us know what program you are trying to run. Also your OS/distro, architecture (32-bit/64-bit), version of Wine, Desktop Environment...

Thanks
Bob
