That's a feature. Killing the app outright would prevent useful things, like being able to create a prefix without a display.
That makes sense for wineboot (I use that feature quite a bit), but for something like winemine, which has no cli mode (even /?) it doesn't make as much sense.
Of course, separating the two cases may be difficult and not worth the trouble.

--- Comment #4 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org 2011-09-09 12:08:50 CDT --- It's up to each app to decide whether to abort when window creation fails. That's not something we can do globally.
