Keyboard not working and driving me insane

Ugh. I need a hand with this, as it's driving me insane.

Running a Ubuntu 15.04 release (but have this problem in other distros too) and I am at the point of giving up. No matter what I do, when I run 3 clients at once, my keyboard stops working on 1 or more of the clients.

Control+alt+shift keys constantly "stick" and require me to mash them to get them to "unstick" - and then they go right back to being stuck again when I change from one EVE client to another. More often then not, the keyboard just stops working on one or more of the clients after a few moments of use.

I have no idea how to fix this, and it's driving me freaking insane. Anyone have similar issues and figure out what the heck is going on here?

Well, some more creative google searching and hitting my head a couple times on the keyboard, I think I *may* have solved this problem (Everything seems to be working now.)

Instead of lauching a few EVE clients via terminal with a

wine exefile.exe &

I am launching with:

XMODIFIERS='' wine exefile.exe &

This seems to have solved all my input issues, and also solved the SUPER annoying sticky control-alt-shift key issue that I have had for years. Might want to give this a try if you also have the issue.

(Note, that's two ' - not a " following XMODIFIERS there, it looks funny in a non terminal font)
