Why not writing directly debug output in a file instead of redirecting 
it to stderr. After all, Xorg has its own log, why not /tmp/wine.0.log ?

And ReportFault would be "Your application crashed because of unexpected 
behaviour. Please report a bug to http://bugs.winehq.org. Don't forget 
to attach /tmp/wine.0.log. Please be kind and search for existing bug 
before reporting."
