Ok, further info:
1) I can now get the game running in fullscreen mode with a patch (
https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio/blob/master/patches/winex11-Limited_Resolutions/0001-winex11.drv-Update-the-check-for-broken-nVidia-RandR.patch
)
* This seems to work appropriately with Alt-Tabbing (hurray!)
2) With non-fullscreen mode the keyboard doesn't completely stop working, but
"Backspace" in particular does not work unless you hold down "Alt" for a short
bit.  I was testing with the username in the networking dialog, since it was
"full" and I could not use backspace there was no way to enter more letters. 
It's possible that having Alt stuck like this could affect other areas of the
game, how were you testing?
