How do I change the resolution Wine reports to the app?

Now that all configuration has been moved into the registry, how do I tell Wine to report a different DPI to the application than X reports?

The reason I am asking is that I have several Windows apps that do not correctly render text boxes - evidently the app is being told that the size a given piece of text will require is different than the size the text actually will require - as a result the text does not fit into the space allocated for it.

Also, most Windows apps seem to be using .5 point flyspeck as the fontsize - I have to use X's ability to change the screen size (ALT-KP+) to really see the apps - it is as though they were targets to 640x480, and I am running 1600x1200.

Yes, I realize that many windows programmers are horrid and use actual pixel sizes rather than point sizes, and fixed-size dialogs, and other atrocities against mankind, and that there is little Wine can do in such cases - but what can I do to improve things?
