I'm not sure how many people my case affects but its not just running
wine applications that is a problem. It seems that this bug might be
related to a bigger one regarding changing resolutions in general. I
have a "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" (still
using Jaunty) and I get undesired behavior when I change resolutions in
two different cases.

First case: If I have no acceleration enabled (in my xorg.conf), when I
change resolutions (from my native 1280x768 to something else) I just
get a black screen. I know applications are still running because I can
hear sounds and still use keyboard shortcuts. I read on some other posts
that what I'm experiencing is X unable to "sync" or "vsync". This is
also true for wine applications.

Second case: If I do have acceleration enabled (UXA), then when I change
resolutions, X crashes and I'm brought back to the log in screen. Thus
my crash might not have anything to do with wine applications.

Like I said, this is the behavior I experience on my computer, and I
wonder how many other people experience the same behavior.

Hope I was able to shed some light on the bug. A fix for this would be
much appreciated!
