It's 1024x768, the same resolution as at least one of the movies played at the
start of the game, and after which the window isn't resized again. I found out
the dimensions when I mucked about with forcing kwin to keep windows certain
sizes, but yes that is correct.

that is due to my cropping yes, fglrx has always had the right size of the
screen (but not the "game-window") and if I understood Martin correctly that
wouldn't have been a problem if the "game-window" had had the right properties
letting the panel know it was supposed to get out of it's way. If I hadn't
cropped it it would have looked like the game always ran as a window in the
upper left corner on a huge desktop as the application I used to take the
screen shots somehow manage to get everything. 

Frankly it has become apparent that my lacking knowledge of graphics and the
terminology involved makes this at least twice as hard to describe as it ought
to be. Thank you for your patience.

and yes, as far as I'm concerned this is not a wine bug and will probably get
corrected in fglrx one way or another eventually.
