wine fails when i try to start an application on a remote xrdp desktop:

wine WinSCP-5.15.4-Setup.exe
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key0009:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application
tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.

System:

- Debian Stretch most current version on 2019-10-14
- GNOME installed
- Kernel 4.19.x from stretch-backports
- xrdp installed with that config:

default", or something like that, because of that we need apply that config
first..)

- Maybe that problem is already fixed on newer versions?

- If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me!

...and defining the "DISPLAY" variable does not seem to help, why??

I'm pretty sure the issue is not with wine, but your setup.
You need to make sure, that where wine is running, there's also an x-server and
DISPLAY is set properly.

The problem seems to be when i run it as "root", the DISPLAY is not correctly
configured.

So i saw not, other applications (e.g. gedit) have the same behavior. So it's
not an wine issue - so it may be closed...

Best regards,
Jan

Marking INVALID then. Feel free to ask for help in the forums though.

Why do you run it as root? You should never run wine as root.
If you really need that, which usually you don't, see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Running_GUI_applications_as_root
That should help.
