Perhaps I have not really stated exactly what I wish.

First of all I want to say that I am a kwin developer and not just a user. I
reported this wish as I think it makes sense to add this support to wine and
given the bug reports we have in kwin.

I do not want you to add that pasted scriptlet. I would like you to give the
user the possibility to say that an app should be started with compositing
disabled and that wine will just call the dbus interface.

Of course the user could use an own script. But how many users are able to run
that script or are able to find it. This is definately a case of providing a
good user experience and making the free desktop better. When running an app
with compositing enabled and it is broken how can a user know that it is caused
by the combination of compositing and the OpenGL game and how should he know
that it is possible to script kwin in that way?

If you still have questions please ask. You are also welcome to join us in
#kwin and discuss the problem directly.

OT - personal note:
I am rather disappointed by the speed you just closed that feature request. It
looks like you don't care about requests made by other projects. I opened this
request so that wine can provide a better user experience. If wine is not
interested in a good user experience this might change the way I handle wine
specific bugs reported against kwin :-(
