Well. Moving forwarded is hard for the weak heart. We strive to survive. Arwiness will fail.
Testing so far proves this. Without X11 wine could not do the things it can. Seems also, Mac OS does the same thing, filling in those holes that wine lacks. Hacking X11 is the same, you need to know where to place the traces. Stay actively focus there is still more to come into the foreground. Everyone all around say, "2014 is their year". Let this be ReactOS year!
