Your statement "Virtual desktop have fixed size." made my brain itch. Setting the virtual desktop size isn't done by drop down menu with preset choices. I remembered setting an incorrect number once. Winecfg took it without complaint. (I corrected it, of course.) So I started playing with the numbers for real. I wound up with: 1012x665 and the resultant window is exactly the size I need. It does open up 3-4 pixels too high, but THAT doesn't really matter. Diablo II LOD doesn't look or play any differently.
