--- Comment #5 from Artem S. Tashkinov t.artem@mailcity.com 2007-10-20 11:08:18 --- In Windows graphics applications crash rarely - and speaking frankly, you're lying: when you kill a hanging application using Task Manager then your desktop resolution will be restored automatically.
In other words it is *Wine* that is changing resolutions, so Wine has to revert to your normal desktop setup.
