I was not trolling, and this is a technical discussion. When a subsystem such as wine send thousands of needless messages over a network, network admin people tend to get very upset, as they should.
I think the amount of network traffic generated by the queries would be insignificant compared to the actual bitmap data. Regardless, that's still basically an Xlib issue, afaik there's no reason for Xlib to ask the server or to print that message after the first time for each connection. (And so far I haven't actually seen any evidence it does communicate with the server for each query.)
Could be. All I know is if you configure WINE with --without-xshm the problem goes away (a fix suggested by someone at codeweavers). I can submit a problem report to Apple, but figure they would just laugh. So I guess we are stuck with the --without-xshm solution.
