ddraw design flaw

Hi,

The ddraw implementation has some unloading bugs at the moment. Not restoring 
the glx context(that's the problem you reported, right) is only one of them. 
Another is that the screen resolution isn't restored when the app doesn't 
care for releasing it's object.

I have this problem in mind, and I'll check WineD3D for it, as it most likely 
affects all D3D libs. Once it's fixed in wineD3D and ddraw uses wineD3D for 
rendering, this should be sorted out.

Sorry for not fixing this at once, but time is limited ;). If you want a 
solution now, you're free to fix ddraw. But I registered that issue and it's 
on my lenghty todo list.
