I'm trying to pinpoint the way to close this bug... discussion is the best way
to write some more code.

How could this "ugly fix" be changed in a generic patch?

Should wine monitor the win32.application.screen and make the conversion to the
size of the active window?

Should wine implement a virtual graphic adapter (video card) driver to capture
what is painted directly to the screen? (the driver should be optional inside
the wine config)
