[Bug 16506] New: some GUI feedback is needed when wine crashes

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16506

Summary: some GUI feedback is needed when wine crashes
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.10
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Currently, if you start a program by double-clicking a file, or using a
wine-generated .desktop shortcut, and that program later crashes, Wine starts
winedbg and prints information to standard out. In this case that goes nowhere,
and the user gets no feedback to indicate that the program crashed.

The user should get feedback in this case.

It's not clear whether the gui should be created by an internal Wine program or
desktop-specific crash reporting tools. If this depends on crash-reporting
tools, we need to define clearly how they should interact with Wine.

Mikołaj Zalewski submitted a patch that attempts to address this using an
internal program:
