The real issue here is that tapi:lineGetDevCapsA and tapi:lineNegotiateAPIVersion are very verbose. xsession-errors is automatically managed to by the X server, so it's not directly Wine's fault if yours ends up being gigabytes-large.
The best you can hope for is either:
- Devs making it a fixme-once (Louis' patch)
- Properly implementing and unstubbing the functions
- Downgrading the fixmes to warns
And meanwhile, linking to /dev/null is fine.
This should be closed as a dupe of bug 15435.
Which is the nature of this bug. :)
Really, what I think we need is configurable *outside of compilation params* wine logging. As a user of wine, I'd like to be able to turn on and off verbose logging when needed. A simple way may be adding a simple check box to winecfg to enabling verbose logging, off by default.
So I guess what I am saying is for a technical wine user, this may not be a bug, but an enhancement request. However, for a normal user of wine, not testing, over verbose logging could be a bug considering they are not looking for logging to begin with.
