Surely, there's a Mac program that skips commercials. Why bother with
Wine at all? Whenever there's a native version, our advice is usually
"use the native version instead of mucking around with Wine."

That's because they don't exist anymore. Ever since Wine got registry
support, all of Wine's settings have been stored in the registry. Also,
the TTY driver is gone, too, so setting the GraphicsDriver won't do you
any good.

What we really need is for someone (me, possibly) to finish up
quartzdrv. This is the driver that uses native Mac OS X graphics instead
of X11 graphics. With quartzdrv, you won't need X11 anymore.
