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>

Why not writing directly debug output in a file instead of redirecting it to stderr. After all, Xorg has its own log, why not /tmp/wine.0.log ?<br>
<br>
And ReportFault would be "Your application crashed because of unexpected behaviour. Please report a bug to <a href="http://bugs.winehq.org" target="_blank">http://bugs.winehq.org</a>. Don't forget to attach /tmp/wine.0.log. Please be kind and search for existing bug before reporting."<br>
</blockquote></div><br>For the people I know that sounds like it would work. Provided that that message appeared as a dialog (if run without a terminal) and they wouldn't need to do anything special to activate the feature then I think that would help a lot for the non-terminal-savvy folks.<br>
