the code is

warn() {
  echo "$@"

case x"$GUI" in
  x1) xmessage -center "               Winetricks error: $@                 " ;;
  *) ;;
  esac
}

i.e. we haven't bothered to use the nicer dialog for errors.  Think we should?

Yes, probably. It is just a little surprising to see an xlib message (particularly one about errrors) among mostly gtk GUI.
