I can confirm this.  It's a bit of a pest.

This is how it happens for me:

I currently use Ubuntu 8.10.  Sometimes it starts with the incorrect resolution
because it likes to be awkward.

When logging in a Windows application starts in the Wine system tray.

I then have to change the resolution.

Then, when I start another Windows application, it only recognises the original
screen resolution - the expanded area of the screen can not be used.
The application either vanishes into the expanded region when moved into it, or
when the app is maximised, the parts that are expanded into the new region are
blank.  Very much like the screenshot in the attachments.

The solution is to close all Windows apps (and hence let wineserver terminate)
and then open them again.  Wine then recognises the full resolution.

Anybody with Wine should be able to test this.

Of course, the Linux apps (or Gnome) recognise the resolution change
immediately.

I can make a short video if it helps.
