not so many tools avail.
there's the WIN_WalkWindows in windows/win.c which could help printing
the whole window tree... coupled with some triggering of this dump at
some point in time (for example, in relay as Uwe suggested) could
help. but you'll have to look closely at the huge haystack and find the
needle inside :-(

however, if you have spotted which window (WND*) is overwritten, you
can use hardware breakpoints (either by attaching gdb to the right
thread,
or using wine debugger) on the region field of the WND to get back to
the
spot which overwrittes it.
