I talk about the fact that when I switch between an application in fullscreen run by Wine and my desktop, Wine force my desktop to the resolution of the application in fullscreen. As I made a tested with Savage, it's not a problem of Gnome or X.
Must be Savage is doing extra work to compensate for the X11/WM deficiency of managing windows running in different resolution modes. Wine is not a Window Manager of any kind, in order to properly fix this problem the fix should be made on the X11/WM/OS side instead. You forget that OS *already* manages switching display modes between X11 and text consoles, the same thing should be done for X11 processes.
