Hi David, I'm reading your mail about the problem to change the resolution 
that Wine reports to app. 

I'm the same problem with an specific application, don't work because it 
"says" the screen resolution is too small.

In the news I don't see any good answer, have you solved the problem?, can
you say me how?, thanks in advance.
