That's not the question he was asking.  The question is specifically
about the window that Safedisc displays when it has detected a debugger
through whatever heuristics it uses.  Another suggestion is to use a
crack to run the game, which in the case of Safedisc is the only way it
will work at the moment (due to the inability of WINE to load the
Safedisc security driver).  That still doesn't answer the question,
which could be rephrased as:

How are programs determining that WINE is a "debugger", and how can we
cloak that information from the program?
