I don't think it's possible to ensure that your code is _always_ executed when wine
exits(especially when you want it to be executed when wine crashes).
Neither I think that this "hack" belongs into wine at all.

I use a small wrapper script to start wine which takes care of restoring the resolution:

#!/bin/bash
old=`xrandr | grep ^* | cut -b2`
wine "$@"
new=`xrandr | grep ^* | cut -b2`
if [[ $new != $old ]]; then
    xrandr -s $old
fi
