Package: wine
Version: 1.0-rc1-1
Severity: normal

Since the upgrade 0.9.44-1 -> 0.9.58-1
I have been getting these errors every time I start up.

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

Most bug reports on the web are apparently due to people trying to run wine as root, which is not what I am doing.

I typically use wine to run a non-graphical console app that takes some arguments and then outputs on stdout/stderr, 
and doesn't open a window at all, so I don't have an xserver running at all.

I realize that I am probably somewhat strange in that I am using wine to run a non-graphical app.  It is necessary in 
order to interface with a 3rd party windows .dll.

The program still outputs the correct result, but I am a little concerned that a future upgrade will break things.

If there was a -nodisplay parameter, I'd be quite happy.
