Well, it doesn't look like a cat of a binary file, but I can get wine to
spew badly formatted fixme's and leave an xterm in need of a reset by
changing ~/.wine/config to include:
[wine]
"GraphicsDriver" = "ttydrv"

ttydrv is still not ready to handle graphics, so you might have better
luck to set

[wine]
"GraphicsDriver" = "x11drv"

I didn't know you could do that to an xterm, but I guess you can.
