why not have wine take advantage of syslog-ng (if
syslog-ng is installed and running)?  its an easy way
to find out like you said "why this bloody wineconsole
doesn't work" and you can still redirect the output to
/dev/null...

by the by, if you don't know how syslog-ng is an easy
way to find out, it prints out all messages it is
given to tty12, so all the user would have to do is
hit ctrl+alt+f12 read the message(s) and then alt+f7
back to x...
