wine is in most parts the same as replacing kernel32.dll user32.dll and
some other system dependent libraries. So you won't achive anything if
you run the windows application in a wine subsystem. The goal is not to 
replace the windows dlls with the wine dlls but to translate the GDI
calls to X11. This has nothing to do with the POSIX layer. 

If someone is going into this, than start with the wine x11drv.

Unfortunately no one from wine-devel commented that concept.
