wine users - Nov 2008 - wine for server: minimum x configuration?

Hello, collegues!

I need to run one windoze application (USDownloader - to be exact) on my home
Ubuntu 8.04 server (with SSH-only access, even no monitor attached).

I consider to use wine (as it worked with USD perfiectly on my previous Ubuntu
7.10 desktop installation).

Actually USD won't be used via any GUI interface (due to reasons described
above) - I plan to use USD via it's web-interface only. So - I don't
need any GUI output of USDf (and also - FineReader used by USD to do the
recognition job).

My the questions are:
1. do I have to install xserver-xorg to run GUI-based apps under wine?
2. do I have to install any display managers (is so - will fluxbox be the
smaller one?)
3. what should be the minimal settings of X and display managers to keep
server-platform efficiency (in terms of RAM and CPU usage)? I.e. - 640x480x256
will be enough, let's say - if I don't care about GUI output - or not?
Thank you in advace for any suggestions or even directions to look trough.

Depends how you want to do it. If you want it to constantly run even when you
are not connected, you'll need to setup a virtual (headless) X. Search for
Xvfb, Xnest  for more info.
