If you run Diablo II in Windows you _will_ notice that the window minimizes
itself when it has lost focus and resizes to its normal size once it is
reactivated. I think this is exactly what is happening when it loses focus under
wine. However, I have only seen it do this when I switch to another application
running in Wine.

You need not kill the application to get the window back as long as you can
memorize a few keystrokes. All you need to do is go from a game to the game
list. Since the game lists and the game itself use different resolutions, Diablo
will resize the window accordingly. When in game press ESC, UP, and then ENTER.
The only issue there of course is that you must leave your game, but its better
than killing it, at least you can reenter the game if it still exists.

One way that a solution can be created can also create a solution for numerous
other issues with window sizes. Which is if wine can be made to ignore window
size restrictions. In other words, let me resize all windows even if the window
was not created with that option, if possible. Of course, this may not work for
any app that forces itself back to its preferred size, but I don't know that
there are many that do.

As far as the Alt key moving the Window I don't think that it is really an issue
that needs to be solved by Wine. Either change the key that moves the window or
change the key you use to pick up items. I switched mine to the space bar
shortly after I started playing Diablo II. I keep my fingers over the function
and number keys for fast access and I found that using Alt was cramping my
fingers. Perhaps it is because I use a tightly packed laptop keyboard, but I
find the space bar gives my thumb much more freedom.

Hope this was helpful.
