Apart from the fact whether winrash should be 'fixed' or not, this patch
doesn't seem to do what it is supposed to do. Put in other words the
running_on_visible_desktop is not correct (enough).

I've downloaded http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/winetest-200503091000-...
and ran it (interactively of course) on my win98 and win2000 box. It
doesn't start and complains with the error (as in the patch) "Tests must
be run on a visible desktop".

Dito for Windows XP. Just tested it too.

That, and why put up a dialog with "Tests must be run on a visible desktop"
when there shouldn't be any desktop to see the message. :-)

Sounds plausible.

Is a MessageBeep() helpful at all then?
If it is, then I'd use that one instead and maybe also do a Debug message
output (the Win32 API name for that escaped me) that can be seen in some
debug monitor (if that one can be used together with an invisible desktop,
that is...).

Or maybe create a file SORRY_WE_DONT_RUN_ON_INVISIBLE_DESKTOPS in the winrash
directory in that case ;)
