Oh, really ???...
The thing is I've seen that happen on closing main app window or even
standard app exit. Granted, it's quite rare, still...

My point is that when that happens, subsequent ^C has no effect. Would
it be possible to (for example) add a generic SIGINT handler to
wine sever, so that upon receiving ^C from its terminal the Windows app
would go into the standard forced shutdown cycle (that is the one hung apps
go upon Windows shutdown) instead of this repeated 60 sec. wait ?

As for the regedit patch, it's more of a question, than an answer.
I've simply took a few lines from another place in wine (can't recall
which anymore), then started thinking out loud. The end result feels a
bit messy, even if it solved the problem for me. If you consider it good
enough, :shrug: fine by me.
