I assume that I've been very unclear. I apologize for that. Your summary is far
better.

That's ok, it's what I'm talking about.

So I mainly use Wine for games. This problem appears with the following games
(I'm not sure but I think it's OpenGL games) :
* Steam Games (Half Life, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic)
* Warcraft III and his extension Frozen Throne
* World of Warcraft

Wine version : wine-0.9.51
OS : GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 7.10)

When I switch from the game to the desktop, it seems firstly that the desktop
tries to restore its own resolution, but then, after many modification of the
resolution (2 or 3), the desktop adopt the resolution of the game. It seems
that there is also some differences between "wine Warcraft\ III.exe -opengl"
and "wine Warcraft\ III.exe" commands, because with the second command,
Warcraft III do not accept to lose focus, unless you switch to another "GNOME
virtual desktop" (this time I'm speaking about GNOME virtual desktop, Wine have
nothing to do with it). With the -opengl parameter, Warcraft III accept to lose
focus inside a GNOME virtual desktop. In both case, the resolution of the
desktop is the resolution of the game.
