------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2007-01-03 21:33 ------- I seem to recall Alexandre explained this... DISPLAY is sensed when the first Wine process is started, and ignored after that. I can demonstrate this easily. Start a 2nd X server using Xnest: $ sudo apt-get install xnest $ Xnest -ac :1 Then start off the first wine process: $ wineserver -k $ DISPLAY=:1 notepad And in another window, try to start a new wine app: $ winecfg When I do that, the 2nd app crashes with X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
I'd say this bug is still present. We should at least print out a nice error that explains what's going on.
