Would you mind about messing the settings temporarily
:-) I'm going to implement integration in such way
that the changes to settings from Wine will be only
temporary - while single X session.
If user wants to have it permanently he/she should
change X configuration.

There will be very many such messages. I would not
like to do that - useful Wine output can be lost.

Will be any suggestions about existing strategy of
integration with X settings?
