Bug Description
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 14.10
Wine: 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu6
GPU: Intel HD 4000+Nvidia GeForce 820M
Nvidia drivers: nvidia-331-updates
Expected behaviour: Should be able to switch away from fullscreen wine program to other, native programs.
What happens: You can switch away but all that is usable is Unity. The "desktop" area is filled by the fullscreen program and it's not possible to get any native application in front of it. It's also not possible to switch back to the wine program, even if you alt-tab to it it remains unresponsive to input.
This only happens with wine and not with other fullscreen games run from, say, Steam.

Additional note: it works to switch back and forth with the fullscreen game if you configure wine to not let the window manager control the windows. This is very much less than optimal though since the wine app does no longer appear in the icon bar but as an icon on top of the trashcan in the icon bar and you can't switch back to it using alt-tab. Switching back can only be done using the icon that is on top of the trashcan.
