Following the question as to how to implement D3DXCreateTeapot, might I suggest making it in the form of a wine glass?
Given that is unlikely to negatively affect anything (indeed the entire method does border on the ridiculous) I think it would make a nice hidden touch.

Sounds like a good idea.
The DXDiag application could then use this API to render a nice Wine glass :).

A 3D Wine glass rotating in the winecfg About tab should be cool but I guess it needs some work. If I were you, I would start with a simple sphere (kind of 3D stub) fixing the bug. Then you could freely work on it and let your imagination soar !

The geometrical properties of a wine glass and the teapot are sufficiently different that I would argue against that. For starters, a teapot is not symmetrical, like a wine glass would be. The handle of the teapot also creates a topological feature that is not present in a wine glass.
Why not a tea pot pouring into a wine glass then?
