My reply was more targeted at the dumping of the window handles; I
don't deny switching tracing on or off would be useful, but it needs
to be done in a more generic way.

Also this can be done externally to Wine, so that we don't need to
burden the core dlls with extra command-line options or magic key
sequences. There are many ways of doing that; an output filter is very
easy to do and would work in many situations; if you need more complex
stuff you could do it from the debugger, or write a small app that
uses the debug API to manipulate the tracing state.
