...<br>I'm not sure<br>
that we want to reproduce windows XP behaviour here (understand "Your<br>
application encountered an unexpected error. What do you want to do :<br>
send report/do not send) which annoys most people, and is not that useful.<br>
Most wine users, when their app crashes, open a bug report and attach<br>
the console log. If the log contains information got from ReportFault,<br>
developers will gain some time, and have the preceding context of the call.<br>

Just my 2 cents :-)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I know quite a few people (my converts) that run applications (mostly games) where they launch the application from an icon and there is no console. They've complained to me every once in a while that they would much prefer a dialog informed them when their application crashes. Personally, I think that fatal errors (including things like "a DLL could not be found") should launch a dialog if a terminal is not available (if "TERM" is not set).<br>
