[winecfg 5] Implement transactions support,remove some crack x11drv prefs,complete desktop sizing code

Indeed, but they aren't instant apply dialogs either. At the moment the
way it's coded makes instant apply optional, but there seems to be
consensus here that instant apply is a good thing, and having used it I
agree, it makes everything feel a lot more responsive for some reason.
It also helps force us into good UI design (at least in some ways).
