Currently, when a program is started from the KDE or Gnome menu and it crashes, it simply disappears from the screen without any explanation what happened - the information that goes to the console is not visible. This program uses a similar technique as Windows' dr Watson to register itself as a debugger and show a dialog about a crash. It then calls winedbg, so, if the program is run from a terminal, the dump will be still visible. As a bonus feature, one can Shift+right click on the dialog to start an interactive session of winedbg. The patch has an effect only on new wineprefixes, as the debugger setting is not overwritten after a Wine upgrade.
I'd suggest to do that in winedbg, there's no need to add another Wine-specific program for that.
