Well, your info is confusing. dwFillAttribute is not a CreateProcess
parameter. Instead it's a variable inside the lpStartupInfo struct,
which is a CreateProcess parameter.

Wine readily says:
    if (lpStartupInfo->dwFlags & STARTF_USEFILLATTRIBUTE)
        FIXME("(%s,...): STARTF_USEFILLATTRIBUTE %lx ignored\n",
                      name, lpStartupInfo->dwFillAttribute);

I don't think it's updated.

Hmm, so you mean some program launches another program, passing a value
in STARTUPINFO.dwFillAttribute, right ?
If so, how does the launched process retrieve the STARTUPINFO content
in your case ?

Wine certainly doesn't pass the STARTUPINFO strut content to program
space yet; it's simply being used for initializing certain aspects of
the new program.
