I'm adding my vote for fixing this bug.  Pressing Alt-Tab (or Meta-Tab on some
keyboards) to switch away from a fullscreen game, such as Warcraft 3 or
Starcraft, that sets its own resolution, leaves the desktop set at that
resolution.

Here are some simple steps to follow:
Legally obtain/borrow a Starcraft CD from someone
Run Starcraft (it uses a 640x480 resolution)
Press Alt-Tab
The GNOME/KDE/etc. desktop is at the resolution set by the game

I liked the behavior way back when Wine used XF86VM instead of XRandR to change
resolutions.  I don't want wine to change my desktop resolution, which is what
XRandR does.  I want it to create a window that's the appropriate size, and
change the viewport resolution and position to match the window (which is what
XF86VM does).  When I press Alt-Tab, and the app running under wine loses
focus, the resolution should be restored.

If this is a WM problem, and every major WM on the planet has the problem, then
it's probably wine's job to work around it.
