No, I do NOT talk about virtual desktop. This bug is not related to this one :
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10839

I talk about the fact that when I switch between an application in fullscreen
run by Wine and my desktop, Wine force my desktop to the resolution of the
application in fullscreen. As I made a tested with Savage, it's not a problem
of Gnome or X.

Maybe I'm confused, maybe "dynamic resolution changing" refers to something
else that I do not understand. But I have a pretty clear idea of what I request
: I do not want Wine to force my desktop to have the resolution of a fullscreen
application that is running through Wine. 

Windows do not force its desktop to have the resolution of a fullscreen
application. I can have my desktop in 1280x800 and run a game in 800x600, and
if I switch between the both, each one have its own resolution. Of course if
the game crashes, the desktop looses its resolution and you will have to
restore it (which is an annoying problem, but still less annoying than having
to deal with a desktop in 800x600 when a game is running through Wine).
