[Wine] How to Force Windowed Mode

Whenever I try to run a DirectX or OpenGL game, they usually try to become fullscreen. I have a Radeon graphics card, and only the proprietary driver supports acceleration. Unfortunately, it's also quite buggy, and and often crashes my system when games try to run in full screen mode.

Is there anyway to instruct wine to force a program to run in windowed mode? I've found posts like http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2004-May/013825.html which say to add:

[AppDefaults\\program.exe\\x11drv]
"Desktop" = "800x600"

to your user.reg file, but this has no effect (and yes, I replaced program.exe with the name of the game executables).
