	I did test this and everything works for me. But it doesn't work for some 
programs including some cases when I try to run Wine with many games for 
example (it produce empty file). If callgrind doesn't work then you should 
use more complex way. I don't know exactly why it doesn't work sometimes but 
using OProfile instead should solve this problem (or as a workaround you can 
try to run wine with some other programs under callgrind to see if it helps 
but there is no guarantee). Go to http://oprofile.sf.net to read more. After 
using it you can use this command:

opreport -gdf | op2callgrind

	To convert to format that kcachegrind can understand. See "Chapter 2. Using 
KCachegrind" section about OProfile in the KCacheGrind help for more 
information.
	I understand, profiling may seems to you as a somewhat tricky thing at first 
glance but actually it isn't very hard after you learn how to do it in a 
right way.
