I can already see myself fighting with an app that does not want to give up on disabling compositing. Please make this option so that it is configurable whether wine honors such a request or not.
I can only speak for kwin, but in the end it's the window manager which decides to honour a request or not. And in case of kwin it will always be configurable. I provided several examples when the user's choice would be more powerful than the applications one.

This would need some standard API, we can't add window manager specific dbus
messages for every wm out there. We discussed it briefly on IRC and had the idea that a window can set an atom like for example _NET_WM_DISABLE_CM to indicate that compositing should be disabled while the window is alive. This has of course to be discussed with the other parties and "standardized" via freedesktop.org NETWM specification.
