Ok, so you're using a .app bundle to somehow execute a windows application through wine. There's really nothing fundamentally different about this than any other X11 application from our perspective.
So, some company or individual has coded it themselves, e.g., GIMP,
gimp is not a windows application. It's a GTK+ aplication, but yes some people have "bottled" X11 applications in this way, such as GIMP, WireSkark, OpenOffice, ...
Okay. I'm wrong again. I learned something new, it was worth living another day!
or taken a product like WineBottler or WineSkin and created a Mac app.
Yeah, it's not really a mac app. It's a poor hack, but yeah...
Okay, I don't like it either, but there is no native Mac version of some products.
Inside the Resource directory resides a fake windows system along with most of, if not all, the Wine components. WineSkin even goes so far as to include a custom version of XQuartz built-in so everything is in one package and is just a drag and drop installation.
Well that is in no way supported by me, obviously.
Wasn't asking for support, just explaining. Again, I'm getting myself in trouble by giving too many details to people who don't need details.
I found that my 'Wined' applications were not working because of some component in X11 was not working, like maybe missing or corrupted or whatever. I discovered this by re-installing X11 from the SL install disc. Restarted. Then the Wined apps wanted to use X11. I logged out & in but didn't change the situation.
Seeing as how your applications provide everything including their own separate server, that's completely out of my hands. If you provide a crash log or some other evidence that shows error messages about why they fail to start, I can give you pointers, but it does not sounds like an XQuartz bug.
No.
I should have stated the app bundles I'm using use WineBottler. WineSkin was another example of a product that uses this sort of thing. The wined apps I'm using don't have an xserver. WineBottler doesn't incorporate the xserver, just the wineserver.
It apparently uses something in X11.
The crash log from this morning before I re-re-installed XQuartz:
