Yeah, from your description that sounds like it would be some kind of GNOME
issue, although it's perhaps mildly surprising that it would only do that for
RandR 1.2 / 1.3 mode changes. In principle that would mean you'd see the same
behaviour if you used the xrandr utility to change the display mode. You don't
mention if you have a multihead setup or not, but I suppose that could be a
factor as well.

Well, the standard / correct way to control scaling mode is through the
corresponding RandR property. Wine doesn't touch the scaling mode in any way
though, so the reasonable thing for the driver to do would be to just keep
whatever scaling mode was previously set by the user.
