No, that's not a solution, that's a workaround.  (And it's -X you want.)

Wine should be able to run commandline programs
WITHOUT USING X IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!

This is a longstanding bug in Wine, and one that periodically
makes my blood boil.

The workaround I've used in the past is to create
a .winetty directory with special settings to use
the tty driver instead of the x driver, but that's
a pain in the ass.
