wine users - Sep 2008 - 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).

Run winecfg, go to graphics tab, check "Emulate a virtual desktop" and
set initial resolution (program can change this size if it needs to).
