This sounds like something that can/should be fixed with the window manager, 
if that is what you are referring to, and not directly a wine issue.

We should be asking ourselves if we expect window managers to handle XrandR 
correctly in the future.  It seems like a very worthwhile extension to X to 
support and I'd rather we have one less option when we can get rid of it and 
not have it greatly impact the wine user.
