Alexandre's idea (for the evolution of process creation is as follows) - for processes created from the UNIX command line (and possibly with both Wine and programs arguments) do as follows - a wine launcher would read all wine arguments (either command line, environment strings, registry) and create the requested child process (the one from the command line), setting all necessary arguments, options... - it would be this program which would be in charge of 1/ creating a new console (if needed) 2/ make the child process inherit from the unix console and/or streams (if needed)
